Re: Glareshield Surface Treatment

I often have to wipe down my glareshield. It gets dusty. The fabric probably does too, but harder to notice. So I think that is one advantage of paint.

Re: Glareshield Surface Treatment

I was all about minimizing reflections. Flat black paint (maybe primer) for me.

Re: Tailbeacon on a Waiex

My sheetmetal piece is a bust. The mounting tabs are interfering with the skybeacon. Not enough room. Anybody doing something similar, I recommend making it bigger. What I am going to do to recover is make a laminate of glass, 0.025" aluminum, glass, and bond it into the cone. Stay tuned.

Re: Flush Avex

To the best of my knowledge, Avex aluminum rivets have never been approved for building a Sonex product. For those who do not wish to use protruding head rivets, others have used the stainless steel flush rivets as sold by Sonex to create a smooth surface more easily polished. Wish I had done this ...

Re: any fueling tricks and advice?

I had a bad spill on my Sonex, and was able to avoid the problem with a very generous soaking with water. Thank goodness there was a hose close by. No cracks or discoloration. This was my second windshield, thanks to a previous fuel spill that I didn't wash down immediately. The line kid screwed up...

Re: Weight & Balance

I stand to be corrected - Datum point is just the point at/from which all measurements are taken/rferede back to. You do not have to use the Sonex recommended tip of spinner (especially if not using the Sonex spinner). In fact most homebuilts use the leading edge of the wing, in recognitions that t...

Re: Weight & Balance

Thank you very much Chris. Are the data you posted referred to the Sonex-B? Mario Welcome Mario! If you check out Chris's blog or posts here, you will see he has an A model. The B will have the same datums. Check out this graphic from Sonex: https://www.sonexaircraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/...
