I really enjoyed your wife's giggling just after it fired off. Clearly a large burden was lifted!

I just ordered a Prince from Sonex over the web. I know they are on Christmas shutdown, but at least I have the order in when they return. For those who got a Prince, what was the turn around time from order to delivery? I've heard stories of over 3 months. I hope not, but I think the Prince is the ...

Here's how I would trouble shoot it. Remove a plug from each cylinder. Get a cheap compression gauge from HF or auto parts store. Screw it into cylinder #1 Hand turn the prop at least 720 degrees. That will mak sure you get one compression stroke. Check the gauge. If you get a good reading, move it ...

Could it be that your cam was installed 180 degrees off? Are there any right turning VW conversions out there? I know there would be no use in the auto world. Either way, the timing (no pun intended) really sucks. And its clear you will need to split the case to remedy it. If shared pain makes you f...

I still use my standard elect...

Because of the angle of the stock panel, you don't have much room on the bottom for switches and breakers....

Finally, after weeks of tinkering, redoing, re-measuring, re-cussing, and re-assembly, the panel is finally done! Hooked up the battery and everything came alive! Radio check, intercom check, transponder check, EFIS check. Now just need to plumb the pitot/static and do some creative cable management...

Is any Sonex builder getting a December Viking? Are the engines on schedule?
