Construction of N815EC began in April 2005, but with a move, it didn't really get started until August. There are a few entries prior to that based on parts left over from my previous Sonex project (www.spoonworld.com). Airworthiness certificate issued 9/14/08.

Options include standard tailwheel landing gear, dual control sticks, lowered seat mod, and Jabiru 3300 power. Avionics are a King com and xpdr. Engine is monitored with MGL Avionics E1 engine monitor. Flight instruments are a few steam gauges.

This was built from plans and not a kit, though I have sourced components from Sonex.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. I am sure we will both learn something.
