    If I fit in this, it will be my first plane. Sonex told me to expect another update by the end of the year since they haven’t had one since April.

      @CompleteWalkaround  Před 9 měsíci +1

      How tall are you? I spoke to sonex to make this video. The only undisclosed update they had for me was the door bottom will be 1 inch higher than previously thought. They may be holding back something more juicy

      @@CompleteWalkaround 6’6-6’7. From the April update it sounded like the high wing will have more headroom for us taller folk and have a wider cabin than the model B.
      I have high hopes it can be a true 2 seater if I only carry 20 gallons of fuel and very light baggage.

      Yeah, 138 knots at what I assume was 4.5GPH or so sounds highly questionable, those cheaper engines aren't known for being fuel efficient.

    People are bashing its looks but I think it looks really good! Way better looking than the Murphy Rebel copy, the RV15. I know this isn’t meant to compete with Vans new highwing, and that’s a good thing. I think these will fly off the shelf

    • @CompleteWalkaround
      @CompleteWalkaround  Před měsícem

      Because tailwheels are lighter and faster and more fun to fly then their tricycle gear counterparts. They are better suited for unimproved runways and in the case of kit planes, cost less to buy. And of course, you'd be lying to yourself if you thought they're not cooler.
