The Super Bee flies! Did two sorties today. First one brought me back to the runway after a loop around the dog patch due to an uncomfortable climb rate. Traced it down to a loose ignition on one of the 12 ignition cables at the distributor. Second sortie was good. Took the plane up to 10k ASL and o...

So this is what a quick build looks like. Very nice.

Anything that looks great doing a low high speed pass at Reklaw is winning.

Yea, raise the windscreen bow so that you don’t have to trim the lexan aft edge at all. Gives you max height.

Running out of stuff to do. Seat pan is riveted in. Boy that was a nervous moment. The B model has a riveted seat pan. You better dang well make sure you have everything perfect and access holes cut in the right places before doing this. Good thing is its rock solid, unlike the piano hinged seat on ...

Gary had them on his Zenith Cruzer. He sure could bring it in low and slow. Not sure what the high end cost is. We did have those giant tundra tires on our trip to KOSH. I'd be curious how it impacts the top end. Do I lose 5 or 10 mph in cruise? If so, no joy. If not, then maybe. Sonex are really do...

The lowered seat has a “tent” or “hat” protecting the push rod from your butt where the seat belts attach. I think the lowered seat is standard on the Waiex and optional on the Sonex A model. B model has a a whole new and improved seat pan. With the lowered seat, they moved the elevator push rod to ...

Both Gary motley and I converted our dual sticks to center. Gary replaced his push rod, I got lazy and made extensions. Replacing requires you pull the wings. The tricky part is if you have the lowered seat. It requires a fabricated elevator pushrod that drops below the seat. The new B model already...

The placement of the N number has clearly made the aircraft unstable. I'd suggest removing a letter or two or adding a letter or two. But clearly something needs to change.

Watch this. It is amazing the hubris the pilot had to try and takeoff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqnp08N4qWg They are lucky to walk away. I think the owner had at least $1M invested in this. And his quick acceptance of fault indicates he didn't have insurance on it. So sad. We all need to set ...
