The blue stuff is Southern California winter. The ground hog saw his shadow so I'm in for 6 more weeks. BTW before the drought I had 16 inches of snow in my yard for a couple of days. That was years ago.

Re: Sonex 1534 Photos I AM FINISHED!!

Postby Gripdana » Fri Feb 13, 2015 8:20 pm

I am officially calling it DONE! I have been at the hanger everyday at 4:30am to spend a few hours a day before work to get everything finished. Today I completed the weighing and weight and balance document. That finishes the paper work and building. The only outstanding items I have are to get the transponder and pitot system certified and fine tune the aeroinjector. Maybe first flight in March.

My A/W inspection is set for this Saturday February 28th. The weather is forecast to be windy and raining so I won't get to fly.
