    Kit Donation

    I’m interested in donating my Sonex-B standard gear kit (FW back) to a group that will actually finish it. I’d prefer donating to a chapter with a very active young eagles program or even to a student aero non-profit group. I’ve reached out to some local chapters and have not heard anything back. If you know of anyone who might be interested or be able to help coordinate, please let me know. I’m in the Chicago area. I have tail feathers completed and wing ribs ready to go, but other than that, the kit is all but unused. It is the quick build kit with the prebuilt spars.

    thanks,
    mike

    That's very generous, Mike. I hope you find a Chapter or school that can use your kit to get a group of kids excited about aviation!

    Chapter 35 near Waco Texas has a good history of completions and young eagle activities.
    We have just completed a Wayex B project.

    Phil Perry is our chapter president.

    I am in same boat as Marrahm was. Have a standard gear Sonex , fuselage about 75% complete, on wheels with engine mount . One wing started. Most was fabricated by me with some parts I couldn t do purchased from Sonex. hate to see this plane turned into scrap, but health issues and money have put a halt to it. Looking for a good home for it.

    Post it over on the Homebuilt Airplanes forum. There was a post just the other day about a school build that was just completed, and I think they're looking for a new project.
