Re: Cross-Country Tool and Supply Kit

I measured my pattern and recreated my sketch. Your partner could easily make this up and you could bring it with you. Darick and I both built A models bought at a very similar time.

Re: AeroVee Performance (Cold Air Induction)

Just to tie the two threads together, I ultimately figured out a solution to the high #1 EGT: https://sonexbuilders.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7674 One thing I've noticed over the years is greater RPM at high density altitudes. I've always assumed it is because of the thinner air causing less load ...

Re: Cross-Country Tool and Supply Kit

That’s awesome! My partner is quite the seamstress, so I think I’ll put her to work! I'm sure I did a sketch somewhere. If I can find it I'll share it. I'm not the best at sewing so if your partner has skills, this is really easy to make. For the adhesive Velcro make sure you get the good industria...

We keep one of these in the back of our A model Waiex: https://www.harborfreight.com/solid-nonslip-drawer-liner-65565.html Weighs little. We put it on the windshield when putting in Decalin & fuel. When you get a fuel splash it protects the windscreen. I'd disagree with bringing something to jum...

Re: Sonex-A purchase - What to look for

If you sit too long with the secondary ignition, radios, lights, etc all on you will quickly deplete the battery capacity down. Of all those loads, the ignition is the biggest.
