Re: Sonex #1416 - Andy Walker

Looking good Andy! You'll have the fuselage on the gear in no time! Do you have the wings done?

Keep at it! :mrgreen:

Re: Tail wheel vs tri gear

Hi Mike, I should start by saying that I have yet to fly my Waiex so take this for what it's worth... If you have a few moments, stop in over at the Vans RV forums at http://www.vansairforce.net and if you search you'll find tons of information on this subject. To make a long story short, however, t...

Stewart Systems Paint Products

Hello Everyone, I'm hoping that by this fall I will be able to start thinking about painting the Waiex, and am (somewhat) leaning towards using the non-toxic Stewart Systems paint products: http://www.stewartsystems.aero/default.aspx I've been reading on the Vans RV forum boards and people seem to s...

Re: Sonex Aircraft Homecoming and Open House Fly-In Oshkosh,

New Sonex Service Bulletin out

I'm sure you've all seen this, but two days ago Sonex issued a new fleet wide mandatory service bulletin to replace gear leg bolts:

It looks like some people have had cracked bolts recently and AN cadmium plated bolts are the answer.

Paint Products?

Greetings, It sounds like a lot of people on this board have either painted their aircraft or are nearing the point where they can start thinking about it, so I would like to start a post to ask those with paint jobs to talk a little about what they used.

Waiex #0056 Panel

I'm currently in the middle of assembling my instrument panel and have thorough several versions before I finally "got it right" (imho). My thought process is to keep things simple, light and cheap as well as stick as close to the model Sonex wiring diagram as possible as found on the plan...
