I’m located in Fresno, CA. I am willing to drive. I attempted the builder data base but no luck with any builder listed on there. I would really love to check out a sonex or waiex model b. Maybe a flight? I have my ppl, currently have a bit over 230 hrs and I’m IFR rated. Doing my commercial at the moment. I very interested in building my own aircraft and I settled on the waiex model B ut I would love to check one out to basically solidify my decision.

I know there is a sonex located in los banjos but idk what model it is as I never got close to it. But other than that idk, I reached out to my local EAA chapter but they never replied. They don’t even have any planned events or anything.

Hopefully I can get some luck here. Thanks in advance!!

Check the EAA builders logs might not get you an actual flying aircraft but you would at least get a look at the build process and depending on how far a local build is might even be close enough to complete to get a good idea on size/fit. if i remeber correctly the width of the cockpit is the same as a cessna. if you are taller the bow of the canpoy can make it a little tighter
