Del, LIghtning can be done in a few ways from I have studied. William Wynnesbook on converting is a great asset if you do not have it. Are you using the blower fan? That alone beingdeleting is a savings of up to 25 lbs. Mr. Wynne has used that on hiosPietenpol, and says you can sit on the ground for twenty minutes or sobefore cooling becomes a problem. Not using electric start and handpropping is another few pounds as well. Others will know more, but that is agood place to start.Doug Blackburn, Arrowbear Lake, So.

I picked up the struts cheap. I may try to trade off the larger ones anduse the small ones. I also have an areonica strut from a fly market. Thatis also a 2 3/8".I have been working all weekend making the engine cowlings. Its a goodthing iut comes in large sheets, I ruined a couple of pieces even though Imade patterns. Fitting in the nose bowl is the last remaining challenge.Dick----- Original Message -----
