November 2015 newsletter

Postby Sonex Foundation » Mon Nov 02, 2015 11:04 pm

Hi everyone

Check out our website at http://sonexfoundation.com for recent updates.

I am looking for member submissions for the November 2015 newsletter - trip reports, technical articles, and especially project updates!

We are asking owners, pilots, and builders to send an email, with photos, to robbie@sonexfoundation.org and answer the following:

What is your Sonex's (Waiex/Onex/Xenos) Serial number

What gear configuration do you have?

Any modifications to the stock setup?

When did you start building and when was the first flight?

What do you have installed? Please be specific - Engine, electronics, etc. A full list please

What modifications and customization did you do?

What else do you have planned for the airplane?

Where are you based?

What made you choose Sonex?

What did you find most challenging about this build?

What would you do differently looking back?

What advice could you offer to someone currently building a Sonex?

Do you have an online build log or web site?

What can you tell us about the first flight? How did it feel? Did anything surprise you bout the airplane?

How did you prepare for that first flight?

Now that you have flown the Sonex, does it match your expectations?

What goals do you have now? (Trips? Completing the 40 hours? Going to Oshkosh?)

So far, I have two Onex reports for the newsletter - wouldn't want all those folded wing things to get all the glory!

Send me your build reports or a summary of your flying airplane - photos too!
