Re: Difference between Sonex and Waiex

When i was flying with my instructor i spoke with him about buying the Waiex and he told me that i would regret it. Something about being expensive to fly it due to the Y wing. Maybe he meant that the plane would be so much fun that you would fly it so much that it would cost you a fortune! Or he t...

Re: Difference between Sonex and Waiex

I'm at KFLY. Hope to be flying in a few weeks. I went through the same dilemma but couldn't wait or depend on a turbo coming soon. My hangar mate has a Jab3300 also. His plane performs great up here. There is an aerovee Sonex based at KBJC. KFLY is 6800ft. and I've had a C150 before and know how ane...

Re: New Prospective Sonex owner

I'm 6,1 and I fit fine in my lowered seat Waiex. My hangar mate has a standard seat Sonex. My head hits the canopy in his plane. I think the current Onex is based on my size. I was at the builders clinic when Jeremy was designing the canopy. Used me to figure out the best angle. I sat in the end pro...

Re: Waiex #142's Panel - A Dual Dynon Skyview System for a S

I saw that sampler pack when I bought my moulding. Should be a must buy early on in your project.
The dual Dynons will be really nice. If you decide to make a carbon panel plate, you consider making a few more for us? I'd love to have real carbon instead of faux.

Re: Waiex #142's Panel - A Dual Dynon Skyview System for a S

Here's my updated panel for ideas. I used dual MGL xTremes and an MGL V6 radio. Hung the Garmin xponder under the panel. The spider on the top right is to hold an iPad mini. The "carbon fiber" panel is just a vinyl sticker on aluminum you can get at the AutoZone aviation section. $10/roll....

Re: New 'Bolt-On' LSA Engine Announced From Italy's ICP

I think that's the engine based on the BMW motorcycle engine. Really sounds promising. I always wondered why motorcycle engines haven't been more popular for aircraft conversions.
