Welcome to my experimental aircraft web site. This site will chronicle the construction of a kit-built, standard gear Sonex which will have an 80HP AeroVee engine and dual sticks. The specs are:

Wing span 22’
Stall speed (full flaps) 40mph
Empty weight 610 lbs
Cruise speed (@8000’) 150mph
Useful load 480 lbs
Take off distance 400 ft
Landing distance 500’
Range 550 miles

I plan to also get my Sport Pilot license while I build this.

While I think flying this will be great, I really look forward to the build process.
