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...

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...

Thanks Bryan! I’m planning on using that exact same product. Everyone I’ve talked to who has used that has been very happy with the results!

Thanks!!

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.

Hopefully you’re still on track for the Tennessee trip!

We had 8-9 kts more or less direct crosswind today. Much more control margins as compared to rolling on the mains. I have found some luck on crosswind landings by landing flaps up but still landing in a 3 point attitude. The only difference is you need to be below glide slope on final approach as y...

Congratulations on finishing the swap Jake! The Sonex looks great and I can’t wait to hear how she flies!

Please let us know how the test flights go and enjoy!

I love the video Bryan! The Waiex looks great and I’m glad you’re getting Phase 1 wrapped up!

Welcome to the Sonex world David! As other have said, the assembly sequence of the Sonex is a little different and the plans are all we get. Once you get used to it though, it makes sense and assembly is logical. Think of it this way. If you start at the "bottom" of the assmebly tree "...
