Here is a recent picture of my wife and me with our Sonex. This airplane is fantastic! It is fast, handles extremely well, is very sporty, and a complete blast to fly!
One happy couple. :) Is that an iPad I can see right in the center of your panel?

I got my kids involved, at least interested in the build, by having them use some water based paint to add some artwork to the plane for planning purposes before polishing and painting for real. They had fun!
