I tend to agree...it looks like simple scratches in the coating to me as well. Can you catch the scratch/crack with a fingernail? You may be able to use an emery cloth or some fine sandpaper to sand down the scratch and see if it disappears, and if you get to the metal, prime and paint that spot for...

Is Waiex middle small rudder too small for tailbeacon? Good question and one I was thinking about as well. Originally I was thinking about a Tailbeacon X as well for simplicity and was contemplating a redesigned upper rudder cap that could keep the Tailbeacon X in a vertical position, with the poss...

Nice pics Bryan, I was seriously considering a Tailbeacon X and the AV-20 but was also struggling with where to install the tailbeacon. I was about to modify the rudder and make a new upper cap when I decided to go a different route. I also tried the AV-20 in my panel but it doesn’t like the stock p...

The Waiex looks great! I’d love to see more pictures of the firewall forward someday.

Great work!

Environmental factors make a big difference on my Waiex as well. In addition to engine temperature changes (cylinder head temp and oil temp mainly), outside air temperature can affect my cruise speeds to 5+ mph or more between summer and winter seasons. Now that your engine is broken in Bryan, be re...

Great video and thank you for sharing! I’m glad you’re enjoying your new airplane. Keep us updated on your progress!

Thanks again!

I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences flying with an MGL panel at night. I have a iEFIS Explorer and the screen is too bright to fly with in the dark. It's blinding and washes out the outside view. Of course that is with the 'night' brightness setting. With the normal day setting my...

Let us know what you think Bryan. I have yet to fly my Waiex at night but I think the time has come to perform some night testing later this fall and see how it goes. I love night flying and would like to expand into that phase soon, but I do need some form of interior cockpit lights to make it safe...

All - I realize that I'm late to the party, but is there going to be any attempt at a "Camp Sonex" this year? I would love to finally meet folks in person and camp with similar-minded builders! Thanks, --Noel Sonex #1339 (finally flying!) Another question for the camp Sonex veterans: do y...
