Re: Sonex-A purchase - What to look for
My take is the weather game is the same no matter what engine/airplane you are flying behind/in. If it's not good, wait it out until it is. Broadly the weather moves west to east, so you can always wait for it to pass then continue west. With a new to you airplane, your definition of good weather is...
