I'm Not Dead!

Postby Andy Walker » Wed Sep 12, 2012 9:28 pm

Hey all...

After a couple of months of the Sonex fuselage being pushed to one side of the garage during some home renovations, I'm back to building! I put together my wheels and brakes tonight, in preparation to get it on the gear in the next week or two.

Kip gave me a challenge, to get my Sonex flying sometime in 2013. All I can say to that is...

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! :D

Actually, I'll be gone most of next week, too.

I'll be in touch via email.

To make this thread more exciting for everyone, I'll say that a new Waiex first flew last week in Alabama! I'll let the owner tell more when his excitement subsides a bit...!
