Sonex in Utah Area?

Hey guys interested in picking up a Sonex but would really like to check one out in person. Anyone know of any that are in the greater Utah area?

I'm a little on the tall side (6'1") and weigh 210lbs. Wondering if I could fit comfortably with someone else in the cockpit at the same time.

Coming from a Vans RV-4 and Kitfox 4.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not near UT but it seems to me that 6'1" though doable might not be so comfortable. Be mindful that there is a 'low-seat' mod. You may want this depending upon your back length. Also if you get a center stick you'll have the option to comfortably fly solo from the middle.

I'm restoring at sonex legacy that was dual stick. I've changed it to center stick. After sitting in both spots I'm sure I'll be flying solo from the center. Though I do have just enough headroom in the left seat (im 5'10" @ 185lbs).

Thanks for the informative reply!

Looks to me like a single seater in my case. I'm hopeful I'll be able to sit in one soon...

I belive the B model has a little more room
