Hi Colette, I know an older, very experienced, CFI who lives in the Walla Walla area. He has owned and flown a taildragger Sonex for quite a few hours, although I believe it has been sold not too long ago. He always seems to be looking for a new adventure and if you had a flying Sonex, I'll bet the two of you could work something out in that regard.

Let me know if you get to the point of needing a CFI and I'll put you in contact with him if you're interested.

I would love to meet other Sonex builders. My airplane still needs some fabric work after respacing formers, but I am willing to drive over to meet builders and see their projects. I am retired and basically free to come over there any time. Please let me know when it would be convenient to meet them and their projects.

I am presently shopping for a Sonex to replace the Citabria, so I hope to need the training soon. Thanks, Colette Miller

phone is 714,356,5669 mipmiller@gmail.com I would be very interested in meeting other Sonex builders. I live at Diamond Point, so anywhere across the sound would be close. Since I am retired, I am free any time and would love to see a first flight in a sonex. Thanks

Hi, sorry I didn’t see your replies earlier in the week! I’ve texted you and will use texts/emails to introduce you around to some Sonex folks in Western WA. I look forward to meeting and/or sharing the skies with you in the future!

Hi everyone!

I will be purchasing a Sonex in July and was looking for any suggestions for transition/tail wheel training in the Salt Lake City area.

Thanks!
