Hi John, I don't really know what the issue was with Jan's Waiex. The exact details were never disclosed. The market response to the "Viking Sport" doesn't appear to have been overwhelming and I guess he moved on. My guess is the aircraft was out of CG. He had the batteries in the engine ...

Good to hear on the trim. I know Jan had fits with the Viking Waiex to the point of him modifying the wing incidence to try to trim out the plane. I was concerned it might be a Waiex/Viking issue, but maybe it was just his plane. The new 130 is pretty intriguing, but with it re-oriented more vertica...

Congratulations, Good to know that there is another viable engine option out there with more power than a VW. Hope it holds up and that the Viking operation stays in business. (The later a particular concern of CAMit and Jabiru drivers.) David A. Sonex TD with CAMit 3300. Unfortunately, Don's Vikin...

The light controls was probably the biggest surprise to me. I over controlled a bit on the first lap. Some of that might have to do with having acro ailerons. But pitch is equally sensitive.

I did mine prior to t-flight by Sonex. I rented a low wing light sport with a CFI and got current while doing pattern work at my airport. About the same total time as you. Looking at emergency landing options, getting familiar with handling and sight pictures. On first flight in the Sonex, I was com...

I'm getting interest in making another set of brake pedals.
If I get 5, I'll do a production run. I won't be able to powder coat these, lost my oven. But if I get 10, I'll buy another oven.
PM me if you are interested.

So I recently took a job near an airport 12 minutes flight time from my home. The office is 2.5 miles from the ramp. I take Uber right now from the airport to the office and so far its working great. So today, I'm at the office and get an email from Josh P. that he's on a short layover at KAPA and w...

Won't be joining you Jim. Took a new job and won't have the vacation time. We might head up to Montana to give you a send off though.

The last time this was floated, it was estimated that it would cost $100 to file a flight plan. One can only assume there would be a fee for any other ATC service like flying VFR into and out of a charlie or delta airport. Smaller towered airports would probably lose their towers due to low profits....

I was promised I'd get tired of winning. I think I've reached that point.
