John, For what it’s worth, I don’t believe there is a “perfect” location for the sensors but most people have reported good luck (no issues) by mounting them in the tailcone just behind the baggage area. There are several cross members at the top of the “box” where the curved upper fuselage meets th...

You are correct. I have installed a Jabiru 3300 engine on my airplane and have that prop left over.

Hello, I am in the process of building a new Aerovee to replace the current one in my Sonex, and I was considering a prop replacement as well. The Prince P-tip intrigues me, is anyone running the carbon fiber version of that? Any noticeable results or opinions on the combo? Thanks. Where are you lo...

At this point dual sticks are not an option for the B model unless you want to engineer the entire setup yourself. On the A models the area under the seat pan has room for a welded stick assembly that supports dual sticks. On the B model the seat geometry is different and the area under the seat is ...

I’m finding I have similar issues as Kip with my Jabiru. If I taxi on the ground for a while my cylinders, especially # 5&6, can get fairly warm and fairly quick. In fact I see a potential issue once the air temp cools off in Ohio where I will need to be careful; I need to wait until the oil hit...

Although some may not believe it, I've landed (and took off) my Waiex in a 20 knot 90 degree crosswind. Most challenging of my aviating. The Sonex is a capable crosswind aircraft. I'm sure the Onex is the same. Yep, I don't believe it! :) (Just joking of course!) I once landed the prototype Waiex i...

Hi Wes, I'm glad you're getting in a lot of flying and starting to gain comfort with your new toy. Don't feel bad or be afraid of being timid at this point. I used to tell my students that it takes 100 hours of flying an airplane to really get comfortable with it, and I still believe that's the case...

Very Nice Jeff! You have put a lot of work into yours! I made a much simpler one that I print out in color on a standard sheet of printer paper, fold in half length wise and then laminate or tape over to seal up. One page and simple but I'm not very smart so I need all the help I can get! If anyone ...

Thank you for all of the reply's and information guys! Just to write it down for future reference, I took Steve's advice and ordered a new VDO oil pressure sender, part #360-001 from Jegs automotive ($42 or so). After installing the new pressure sender my results mirrored Steve's. My readings then i...

Great point Steve and thank you for bringing that point up! I have ordered a new VDO sensor, #360 001 and will swap them the next time the cowling is off. The sensor on my engine now came with the engine so I have no idea how old it is. It sounds like the Jabiru is hard on these sensors anyway so ha...
