Hi,
This is the first entry in our construction log website. We have ordered the Sonex kit and it is to be shipped this next week (4-13-09). I have been working to get other projects finished, and get the workshop cleaned up and organized before the kit arrives.
We are building the Sonex with conventional gear, duel stick, AeroVee engine, center throttle quadrant with trim system. We plan to polish the plane, install MGL Avionics Stratomaster Enigma with Gold Standard servos for autopilot. We're hoping this will give us a nice economical cross country fun flying plane that we can use to travel from West Plains Missouri, where we live, to Ridgecrest California where our two sons live. Kevin, our oldest son is very enthused about his work and flying. Chris and our new daughter in law Lucky are soon going to have our first grand baby. This will necessitate more frequent trips to California.
