Test flight plan

I've searched but haven't found any sample test flight plans for the Phase 1 testing of the Sonex. Are there any examples out there or should I just develop one with my flight counselor from my EAA chapter?
I'd like to have an example to work with him on modifying for our environment.

Re: Sonex comments on Tracy O

I do agree with Jeremy on one point he made regarding brakes. You will never brake too hard with the standard brakes and consequently flip your sonex on its back. :lol: LOL, yes! Although you're hitting the nail on the head here, somehow they are turning the concept of having more stopping power av...

Re: Jabiru 3300 Installation tricks/tips/gotchas

Vertical running hinge pins would probably work great where the doublers are and provide relief... :P Kip, I've had to do the same on my J3300. Pulled the cowl recently and noticed that my patches now have cracks! I've got my conditional inspection coming up in April and I'm thinking about re-doing...

Re: Viking Engine

There was also a call to publish the installed weight of the flying RV12/Viking. Neither Jan or the owner have come forward with the final weight and balance. One would think if it was withing the specs of the Rotax, they would be shouting it. I think Jan is optimistic at best on the installed weigh...

Re: Viking Engine

You won't see your post on his yahoo forum. He won't respond or allow anything negative. It happened with his Subaru forum too. Which is now idle for the last 3 years. A little more research found an alternate Yahoo forum for those Subaru customers seeking help with Eggenfellner problems. Its restri...

Re: Viking Engine

The engine has 90% money back guarantee, during the warranty period of one year.

That's from the Viking website.

Are the Subaru conversion owners still getting support from Eggenfellner? I searched but couldn't find anything current.

Re: Prop choice

I just ordered a Prince from Sonex over the web. I know they are on Christmas shutdown, but at least I have the order in when they return. For those who got a Prince, what was the turn around time from order to delivery? I've heard stories of over 3 months. I hope not, but I think the Prince is the...

Re: Viking Engine

Did you notice the "new" mufflers? He's on like gen 5 now. Seems to be breaking the welds on the previous generations and everyone must upgrade. Hopefully, some the Sonex guys will get this engine soon and start the R+D process. I also noticed the Barnstormers had changed to "Sale Pen...

Re: Viking Engine

I just realized its for sale for $8000. Jan should have bought it back for that. Two reasons, get it off the market and avoid any negative feedback, and he could recycle it back into his future sales. Either way, he has to get this off barnstormers, stat.
