Re: Finally

The Waiex looks great! I’d love to see more pictures of the firewall forward someday.

Great work!

Re: Seasonal cruise performance changes

Environmental factors make a big difference on my Waiex as well. In addition to engine temperature changes (cylinder head temp and oil temp mainly), outside air temperature can affect my cruise speeds to 5+ mph or more between summer and winter seasons. Now that your engine is broken in Bryan, be re...

Re: Interior lights

I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences flying with an MGL panel at night. I have a iEFIS Explorer and the screen is too bright to fly with in the dark. It's blinding and washes out the outside view. Of course that is with the 'night' brightness setting. With the normal day setting my...

Re: Interior lights

Let us know what you think Bryan. I have yet to fly my Waiex at night but I think the time has come to perform some night testing later this fall and see how it goes. I love night flying and would like to expand into that phase soon, but I do need some form of interior cockpit lights to make it safe...

Re: Airventure 2023

All - I realize that I'm late to the party, but is there going to be any attempt at a "Camp Sonex" this year? I would love to finally meet folks in person and camp with similar-minded builders! Thanks, --Noel Sonex #1339 (finally flying!) Another question for the camp Sonex veterans: do y...

Metal and Rivet prep for paint question?

Hello Everyone, Later this spring I’m planning on painting my Waiex with a single stage polyurethane to protect the aluminum from corrosion I’m finding. For those who have painted their airplanes, I’m curious what you all have done to prep the aluminum for paint. I have a plan for the aluminum in ge...

Re: My quick comparison - Prince climb prop vs Sensenich

Unfortunately, this is a perfect example of each FSDO and each POI having their own thoughts on what constitutes a “major change”. Not that I want to muddy the water, but just to throw in a humorous frame of reference, when I added the turbo to my AeroVee all those years ago, the inspector at my loc...
