I have no doubt that the Onex and Aerovee combo will be a huge money maker for Sonex aircraft. It only makes business sense to focus on that for now.

Hopefully some day they can continue to work on the Subsonex, since that will be my next project!! :mrgreen:

I sure will Mike. I also want to add that, despite any comments that I've posted that could be taken as negative (which was not my intention), I still have nothing but respect for the Sonex company and can't wait to have my plane up and flying. That being said, I also want to be honest with all othe...

Hi Mike, When I discovered the issue I sent an in depth email to the Sonex technical support email address, and here is the response I received: Clearances in the case are very tight so you most likely have a contact somewhere other than the camshaft. Identify the location of the contact and then yo...

Kip, I sure hope you're right! It seems like I've still got tons to do before I even consider moving it to the airport. I'm sure a lot of it is my fear of electrical wiring...I'm not looking forward to it! Wish me luck :D

Hello Everyone, After a busy weekend of working on Waiex #0056, I was able to get the battery box, ignition coils, regulator, RDAC unit, and firewall fuel fitting finished before installing the Aerovee engine. I will need to check the thrustline and add washers as needed here soon and then continue ...

Hi David,

Actually, I've never been to a workshop. I'd like to go to one someday but thus far schedules have not worked out. Hopefully soon!

Hi Chris, I'll try to give a quick summary of the issues I ran into. First, just as an FYI, I got the pre-assembled crankshaft, Nikasyl cylinders, and baffle kit (not yet started). First, the "issues" I ran into: - After kit delivery and inventory, one set of special screws were missing an...

Hello All, I'm currently finishing the build of Aerovee 2.1 kit #0361 which will be installed on my Waiex hopefully here in the next few days or weeks. I plan on writing a more detailed entry on the build process here soon, but in the meantime I wanted to attach a few pictures of the build process. ...

In following with Kip's ideas, perhaps a few other forums:

- Sonex General Discussions/News
- In progress and/or completed aircraft pictures
- electrical section

This is great stuff!
