New horizontal split cowl
Posted: Sat Dec 19, 2015 9:46 amHi all,
I purchased the new horizontal cowl from sonex. Fit and finish very nice. Also ordered from skybolt products the 1/4 turn stainless fasteners. Got the RV-8 side kit plus 2 oil door kits. Will still use hinges on the lower cowl to fuselage. The 1/4 turns used on top cowl .
A couple of suggestions to sonex. In addition to the plans:(sonex, waiex, xenos)
1) develop a construction Manuel w photos and step by step instructions for wings, tail, fuselage, finishing.(similar to Zenith Aircraft)
2) develop a set of dvd's for the same. Also engine install for approved engines. ( a zenith builder has done this for the various zenith models) (homebuilthelp.com)
Maybe they could do this when building the quick build components . I think it would help people initially buy, and finish their kits.
Can't wait to see the next model of aircraft that sonex will develop !!
Happy Holidays to the Sonex Family
