    Thanks for the replies, guys. And sent you a PM jedi.

    Alot has happened in the last couple months. Got my AWC a couple weeks ago and hauled the plane down 30 miles down to Skagit in a 6x12 Uhaul...

    Tailwheel Trainers

    Hi!

    I'm planning on starting my flight lessons this spring, not long after I get my Sonex inspected. Yup, I'll have an airplane ready to fly, but won't be able to fly it. Since it's a taildragger,...

    You're welcome, Chris :-)

    That's great you have access to an 8' brake. When you go to use it to bend for the spars, you could also bend whatever thickness those stiffeners and stuff are, then cut...

    Thanks, Wes.

    I'd be able to crawl back there annually. It'd be about as hard as crawling under my car to change the oil, only cleaner. Wouldn't want to do it every day, but yearly wouldn't be a...

    ELT mount location

    I'm trying to locate my ELT mount in the Sonex I'm building. One place that comes to mind is on the shoulder harness bracket, about 4' behind the cockpit . Advantage is it may need no extra bracing...
