Hi Mark,
I have not bought a tail Sonex yet. Moving to SC in December and will wait until I get down there to find one to purchase. Just posted the question as it seems like a whole lot more tail drag planes out there to pick from.
If I go that route I might take you up on that offer though.
Thanks Jim and Mark for the response. Waiting for another guy who offered up a tricycle gear Sonex to respond to me.

Just a thought. The tri gear conversion on a Onex is very simple. You just move the main gear back one bulkhead and add the nose gear to the existing engine mount. 80 hp on a single seat airplane is a better match. Folding wings are a bonus.
