Impressed with Sonex

Postby Gunther » Tue May 20, 2014 3:28 am

Hello to all. I have received a new Sonex kit recently and I am so impressed with the company. The packaging, crating and labelling were excellent. They have been very responsive and a pleasure to deal with through the whole purchasing process. It's sure a nice way to start a project. I especially enjoyed opening the AeroVee boxes and looking at all those pretty red AeroVee pieces.

Best to all,
Gunther

Congrats on the kit Gunther! It's a very exciting time and I hope you enjoy the building process as much as I did! Keep us up to date on your progress.

I was also impressed with the kit and how it arrived.

I did end up with a single missing part (1 aileron bell-crank instead of 2), I contacted Sonex and they sent it free of charge.

Good to see you do both left and right maneuvers John. Wouldn't want your airplane to get all wound up one way. I have a buddy with an RV4 that only rolls left. I think he even does left 270's if he needs a right 90.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
