Re: When to polish?
Definitely easier and faster to polish flat sheets. When solidly supported on a flat table, more pressure can safely be applied and that speeds up the polishing with the first two and most difficult grades of polish. The warning about not using too much pressure is mostly about not causing ribs and...

Re: pitot and static location
Is the static "port" just vented into the cockpit? Yes. I have my mode C encoder and my MFD tied together, and have a restrictor where it vents to the cabin. Now i wonder if I should install it on the vertical stabilizer. I think it looks cool on the Waiex. Might look weird on a conventio...

Re: pitot and static location
Our altitude seems off from what ATC says we are at. That could be an issue with our MFD. I'm not sure. I think we used 1/4" OD nylaflow tubing from Spruce. We chose the tail mounted pitot for 3 reasons: 1) I thought Kip's setup looked cool 2) I thought the pitot probe under the wing could be p...

Re: pitot and static location
So...8 years later, any issues with the pitot tube on the tail? I am considering this because I like that it is up off the ground, but it seems like it could be an eye poker, especially for kids. I like my tail mounted pitot probe. I'm not sure I have great static pressure in the cabin though. At f...

Re: When to polish?
After a year and a half of flying, Adam did some post-build polishing for the first time. So we have about 230 hours of flying and 5 hours of polishing. Doesn't seem too bad.
Also, weight is the enemy.

Re: Sonex Kit & Info
I suspect that is a less common thing now. Most plans are probably sold with kits these days.
If plans are still $600, and the transfer fee is $200, that makes $400 the break even point. Are you going to scratch build?

Re: Greetings from Central Arkansas
Hey Brandon! Welcome to the gang. Having a new kit on order is an exciting thing and beware the risk of dying from impatience. I think we almost lost BobDz from that, but he seems to be pulling through.
