@gammaxy, I figured with what my goals are that an aerovee would not be my first choice unless I had a turbo. With all of the Used Sonex planes popping up on a regular basis I pretty much have my choice of engine! plenty of Jabiru powered ones for a great deal.
I have pretty much the same views as you, buy something over 100 hours that has been through all of the teething pains.
@builderflyer, My main reason for wanting a Sonex vs any other plane was operating costs. I believe a Cherokee would end up costing me much more per hour compared to the Sonex. I will definitely look into it in more detail though! the purchase price for a Cherokee is not bad and you get a couple extra seats. If I plan to fly home quite often on weekends with great weather I don't want to spend up all of my money on fuel! The Sonex just seem so much more economical. We would also probably do a lot of local flights too just doing site seeing. A couple of times a year I would like to fly up to Ohio to visit family as well which would be a long trip in a Sonex but do-able.
Thanks again guys. keep the advice coming!
