Interested in demo flight in Waiex-B

Postby djomre » Thu Apr 13, 2023 12:22 pm

Hello,
I'm interested in building a Waiex-B if anyone willing to help out with a demo flight? Or even better, transition training? Never flown -or flown in- a Sonex. I'm PPL with 650 hours, tailwheel, SEL/SES. Of course will pay for time and gas. Thanks! :)

I'm 170 lbs. Live in STL area but can and do travel all over the United States

Welcome to the forum! I think there are two key pieces of info missing:
1) Location
2) Your weight

Weight is especially critical for the 80HP Aerovee!

Yes, good points!

Weight: 170 lbs.
Location: St Louis area, but I travel for my job so I could probably meet anywhere

At 170 lbs you should have some options. I'd open your search for a ride to consider any A or B model. I don't think they will fly much differently.
