I believe the project is moribund, and think that kits are very
unlikely to reappear. This is not a time when capital investment
is flowing into sport aviation.

Never have been.
Once the official website was here:
http://www.reflexfiber.com/
It's dead, Jim.
Here is a reprint of a Sport Aviation article:
http://www.studiomoonart.com/whitelightning.htm\
It was last represented, AFAIK, by Tom Giertz (son of Lars
Giertz and principal of Giertz Aviation).
http://members.tripod.com/~TomGiertz/whitelightning.html
(again, it's dead Jim. Clicking is a waste of time....)
A business directory from last year placed Tom at a company
called aircraftmarketplace.com, but he is not listed on their
contacts page today.
Last contact info I had for his company:
Tom Giertz Giertz Aviation Services
Houston Southwest Airport-KAXH
503 McKeever Road
Arcola, Texas 77583
voice 281.431.1440 fax 281.431.432
There are a couple pictures of Tom from '97 on this Dutch
mirror of Lars Giertz's website (RIP Lars)
