As much as I miss my Waiex, and believe me I do, I'm really happy that Emile is happy to own and fly it and give it a good home! The whole transaction with Emile was a pleasure and I really appreciate the continued communication back and forth as he transitioned into the airplane. I look forward to ...

Well done Greg! Congratulations on your first flight!

Congratulations Bryan for an excellent article! I really enjoyed reading it and appreciate you taking the time to edit your videos for all of us to enjoy!

You've made your fellow Waiex and Sonex family proud! Well done!

Well done Bryan!

The engine sounded great in the video you posted!

It sounds like your engine is running very well! Well done on the new heads and the readings you are now seeing. It sounds like your “new” AeroVee is running like a dream now!

Years ago when I went through the process of obtaining a LODA in my Waiex, the rules stated that I was only allowed to offer "transition training" in the Waiex. I was not able to provide training for a license or any endorsement. The thought process via the FAA was that all of those traini...

FWIW ... I don't agree with Mike Farley that burping is just what engines do. My engine does not burp, stumble, or bumble. If it ever does it will go back to the hangar until I find the problem and fix it. Don’t misread that statement as “you’re safe to fly an airplane even if the engine shuts down...

As I prepare to return to Pennsylvania to pick up the Sonex, I’m getting the jitters reading about all of the AeroVee vapor lock and overheating issues here in the forum. There seems to be an awful lot of after-build mods that are necessary to alleviate the overheating and vapor lock issues. Not be...

I agree with Bryan. Once the AeroVee is broken in, overheating on the ground tends to be a very rare event. The Jabiru 3300 is much more prone to cylinder head temps during prolonged idle than the AeroVee is. Unless it's an unusually hot day or you're idling way over 1000-1200 rpm for some reason, y...

I'm a little curious on the damage of the Sonex pictured above. The left axle is obviously broke but how did the damage occur on the right wheel pant? It looks like the wheel pant itself was dragged on the top surface, perhaps by a broken weldment holding the wheel pant bracket in place?

First, congratulations on the purchase of a very nice looking airplane! I hope you’re very happy with the Sonex and enjoy it as much as the rest of us! Everyone is going to have different ideas on a tool kit so you will have to use your best judgement but in general, only bring stuff you’ll actually...
