Hi guys,

I have been on the Yahoo groups forum for a while now and just happened to find this forum. I definately like this more standard forum better than the Yahoo type. After doing some reading I am definately going to spend some time here.

A little about me. I am plans building so my progress would probably be considered slow since I work on this at a leisurely rate with my son but we both really enjoy it. So far, I am about 75% through forming all of the wing ribs and have some of the wing spar metal plate ordered and a SNX-W10-02 to use as a master pattern for the rest.

I am ordering metal at a rate close to what I use and plan on picking up some angle soon.

I can't wait to get finished and join the guys who have built their own airplane, whether plans or kit built, it's got to be surreal to fly in a plane that you built.

If anyone is interested, my kitlog is here. Theres not a lot to look at yet but when I start making other parts I'll put it on there.

Anyway, I wanted to say hi and wish all of my fellow and future builders well and success.

Welcome to the party Darron! I sure have a lot of respect for anyone who is building from plans; I could never build with that much accuracy or with that much patience!

And yes, you are correct; it's an awesome feeling to fly your creation for the first time. Hopefully you can continue making good progress and have your Sonex up in the air soon!

Hi Darron! This is indeed a great site. I come here when I really want the correct info and not a lot of hooey, if you know what I mean!
