white lightning

I am interested in the "White lightning Wlac-1" and I would wish to
obtain all technical information relating to it. For examples:
airfoils used (wing, empennage etc....
I would be also purchaser of certain parts of the Kit or plans.
This plane it was built in Europe?.
Thank you to answer as detailed as French, English or Italian
possible.

We named it Nick's White Lead Airplane. We built up 3 fuselages and many parts
back in the 1980's for Nick. It was just over built. He had 4 or more companies
built
up the kits. The last I was told a couple years ago, the molds were
destroyed and taken to a dump.

The canopies in particular needed to be extra heavy so they'd stay shut
without latches. ;-)

I saw one at the Kerrville flyin a few years back. Slick looking airplane that
you wear. The interior was very tight and the rear seat passengers needed to
be slight and had to face the rear. Looked like sex and speed in one tight
little package.

Nice quip, but.....
Will Latchless Larry see the humor?


Barnyard BOb - don't fown, snile.

Noticed White Lightning used the same back to back seating I've been
playing with for my concept design:

Seemed like the only reasonable way to handle the CG for a wing with a
relatively high aspect.

I'm 6'1" and 225 and never felt cramped in a Lightning, front or rear, 4
passengers or 2. Matter of fact, if you are in the rear seat your foot
room is a great luxury.

Same ol' stuff from same ol' wind instrument.

Hey, Methuselah, the latches on my 1940's puddlejumper are more functional
than the body-fluid- patinaed baling wire holding the grimy plexy on your
ratplane.

Actually, John Roncz explored back-to-back seating for a design that
he was doing. But he abandoned that plan after discovering that it
made only a very small difference in the CG of the seated occupant. I
think that he weighed that small advantage against the discomfort that
many potential passengers expressed with traveling backwards.

I think that this episode is described in a series of articles that he
published in Sport Aviation in 1990. According to this, I think it was
in either the May 1990 or the February 1991 article:

Thanks, and best regards to all

Yep, foot room was a great luxury but head and shoulder room makes for some
good friends. ;-)
