[url][/url]Hi from Florida I was from ct all my life till we went to visit a friend on the west coast of Florida. I started flying out of Windham airport at 16 the cost for a 150 was $12.50 hour wet dam that was high lol. At one time I had 2 172's at Windham I think then it was called 5BO ? Now IJD I am looking for a Sonex now my wife just passed away after being together 35 years and being alone is for the birds . I have several friends in aviation all over the country. I worked for DHL as a FE and a A& P the person that has the Sonex at Windham please get back to me I plan on visiting before the snow flys.

Roger,

I have my sonex over on the other side of the state in Connecticut at Windham airport. Once I get it dug back out of the snow you are welcome to come sit in it and see how you fit.

Roger I wont make it up to CT to IJD , ran into so many problems waitng for parts i am rebuilding the aerovee only has 145.6 hrs but i dont think the builder did the oil changes according to what they said to, I found lines in 3 of the four cylinders that i just didnt like so all cylinders are off waitng for rings , I did install the new Garmin comm, wow dose that work nice I talked to an aircraft 90 miles away and my sonex is in the garage at home now i am trying to hook up the front 2 cyls for CHT and the harness dosent have the wires nor dose the plug have the correct pin holes

[SonexEZ]

I just did mt top overhaul and am just wondering dose everyones aerovee sound like it has a cam in it ? My aircraft shacks the hole house its in my garage

The aerovee uses straight pipes that exit right by your feet so it isn't exactly quiet. Not sure what you mean by "sounds like it has a cam in it". The engine is a little lumpy down below 800 rpm but should be smooth anything above idle. It certainly does not sound like a beetle if that is what you were expecting.

Keith I was just suprized on the way it sounds, hey do you have the wheel pans from sonex i just got them in
I didnt expect to have to drill holes and cut out for strut , and fill in crack from one end to the other, but how do you decide what hight off the ground should th ewheel pans be / so as to not hit when landing

[kmacht]

I think the plans detail out the cuts that need to be done. those cuts set the height of the pant. I can't be much more help than that since I installed Tracy Obrien brakes and had to mount them a little different than the plans.
