SonexFlight Episode 16 - “Autopilots is available for download now!

We explore the situations where a builder may consider installing an autopilot is a Sonex project, even though the Sonex is thought of as a rather "sporty" airplane. We’ll dig in to the details of the popular autopilot offering from Dynon Avionics.

Dynon has graciously offered SonexFlight listeners the chance to win one of two Dynon gift certificates, each worth $200, simply for signing up for their newsletter! Be sure to mention SonexFlight in the comments when you register.

Guest: David Webber. David plans-built Sonex #318 from 2002-2009, a standard gear with Jabiru 3300 power. He flew that airplane for 400+ hrs before ultimately selling it to fund his latest project. David’s day-job is working for Dynon Avionics as a Product Design Engineer, and so it was a natural fit for him to install the Dynon autopilot in his airplane. Based on that experience, David developed the Dynon install kits and documentation for the Sonex.

Thanks for a great interview Jeff.I had a great time discussing all things autopilot and would be happy to do it again. Maybe we could talk to your listeners about installing a glass panel system in a Sonex.

If you haven't already make sure you sign up for the Dynon newsletter and mention Sonexflight Podcast to be entered to win a $200 gift certificate good for Dynon gear.

Thanks again Dave. I think an episode on installing glass panels is a great idea. We'll work that into the rotation!
