Sonex Builders and Pilots Foundation February 2016 update

Postby Sonex Foundation » Fri Feb 05, 2016 8:18 pm

Hello fellow Sonex builders, owners, pilots and enthusiasts!

Work has had me very busy recently, so I have been unable to update anything SBPF-related. I am, however, starting to work on the newsletter. My goal is to have it completed by the last week of February.

I am looking for member submissions for the February 2016 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 with photos of your aircraft or project, preferably high quality images of your instrument panel, engine installation, and any special modifications that you made to customize your build.

When you submit your information please 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?)

Tier 2 – Voting Member – Voting Members pay dues of $25 per year, have voting privileges, and will help steer the direction of the Foundation.

The Sonex Builders & Pilots Foundation has received tax exempt status from the IRS. The Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization and was granted this status in June of 2014. Any donation beyond the membership dues is tax deductible, so we are always happy when someone chooses to donate to our cause.

Your foundation is also searching for a new treasurer - there is not much work required, and the financials are absolutely not complex. Drop me a note if you can help!
