Congrats. I ordered a Onex kit a couple weeks ago. I'll be attending the May workshop so if you attend the workshop I'll see you there.
P.S. one of the coolest things about the Waiex is the view from mounting a Go Pro camera on the tail tip. Check out some of Jim Hicke's YouTube videos and you'll see what I mean.

Congrats on the order Kevin! You're going to love it!

I just landed in my Y tail wonder after a 35 minute turbo test flight. It's a lot of fun to see the TAS at well over 150+ mph at low altitude!

Welcome to the club!!
