you didn't specify reliability. I think that overrules all.
I've run both. AeroInjector hands down. Simplicity is king. Only two moving parts.

I have had an engine out during climb out. About 500 ft AGL turning to crosswind at 100mph due to a Rotec carb issue. I had a LRI (Lift Reserve Indicator). I immediately flew the LRI to return to the airport. I came up short and landed about 100 yards into a frozen field short of the runway. But I d...

My insurer Costello, has only found one underwriter who would insure my Sonex. My glider and Cessna no issue. Glider insurance is going through the roof due to a high level of claims. But seems many underwriters are just avoiding Sonex.

During my second or third test flight back in 2013, I had the Bowden clamp on my throttle cable liberate the cable sheath at the carb at full throttle. This relieved me from the burden of power management as I could not regulate engine speed. I was only able to return to earthly endeavors by pulling...

I will report that my B-model tank has not deformed. I placed my vent near the fill neck and routed it through the firewall and down the side edge with a 90 degree turn facing into the airflow. It was made with a 3/8th inch steel automotive brake line.

Excellent work Robbie.

Mine is high and dry until the sealant cracks again.

Hey Everyone, For those of you that own the plans, as I currently only have the tail kit with the limited plans, aside from big picture do I gain any additional work I can do with regards to the tail kit by purchasing the plans? I am making way faster progress than I expected on the tail kit and am...
