Hi Guys and Dolls,



Today I have the pleasure to announce that kit no. 162, D-EGFL aka White 

Lightning is complete. Well , not completed, though. The wheel pants are 

still missing, there will be time for that during winter, but as she 

stands there she is ready to fly.  It took me and other helping hands 

1106 hrs all together to come this far.



  Now the Examination and  Certification for the Permit To Fly  comes 

next. If all runs along smooth I estimate the first flight will happen 

come November. Or so.



The pic shows the cowling sanded and spray painted and fixed to the 

fuselage. Notice the NACA scoop air inlet for the engine air - no airbox 

for the fuel injected ULPower engine!

And also notice the pure length of the Schnozzle, undisturbed by any 

bumps which was made possible by a built to order prop shaft.

  248.5 inches = 20ft 8.5" is the overall length.

The 2nd pic shows wife  Uli fixing a 2" SCAT tube  over a 2.02" 

copilot`s fresh air NACA scoop and cussing.  In German!! Which is why 

Italian Greyhound Bella looks a little disturbed.



Greetings from sunny but SummersAlmostGone-wise Hessen.   ( Anybody 

remember that Doors song?)



Gerd

Hey Gerd: She looks fantastic. Bella looks like she is ready to go flying  anytime.

 Good Luck on the inspection and Certificate.

Congratulations Gerd. If I remembered the song, I'd be dating my self....(oh wait, I'm a pretty good date)

  Maybe Bella is nervous, but hey, she's sitting in it, so she can't be that disturbed!

  

 

  Continued success with the Certification process.
