Not an Aeronca but.............
Picture of a friend of mine's Sonex that flew in today. Speedy little thing with a 120 HP Jabiru engine and sounds like a P51 Mustang. Now that I'd done with the L16, I'm thinking.............

Mike,
Don't waste your time. Go buy that Chief and build it. They need all the help they can get.

Re: Not an Aeronca but.............
A friend of mine who has a BC12D T-Craft just finished building a Sonex. He has about 25 hours on it and really likes it. (He was an F 15 Mechanic in the Airforce) If you look at the Sonex website, his name is Randy Risjan. I have his cell no. if you want it. JP
Re: Not an Aeronca but.............
We have two Sonex in our flying club. Both with the Jabiru engines. We have a couple of us that have restored Aeroncas L16's and my Champ. One who built a RV-9 and one guy (79) who built a RV6, RV8, Sonex, Savaanah (kind of a take off on a Zenith) and is about 80% done with a RV12. He started the 12 just after the first of the year. Beautiful plane but probably out of my price range, about $75,000. I'm ready to start something else but no more total basket cases. Needs to be a kit or complete plane with good paperwork. A Chief would be good, I guess.
