Looks great Dennis! Which landing light are you using?

I am very happy to report I have now successfully rigged my wings!

A huge thank you to Tony Sabos and Dave Henricksen for their all day help, and to Robert Frost for the excellent advice in Crossville. And Scott Meyers - thanks for the tool loan! (I also borrowed one from a gentleman in Florida whose name escapes me at this very tired moment)

Now on to the next 99% to complete this thing!

Congrats Robbie! I bet your glad to have that done and behind you!

Congrats on finishing that task Robbie! I'm happy to hear that you got it finished!

Perserverance Robbie! Excellent. Hope you took some pictures!

Been a while since I updated.

This week I built the instrument panel, test fit it, and drilled the throttle, mixture, and starter in place.

Then I sat in the Sonex and made turbo noises.







As many know I am old school and wanted round gauges. I did cave in and install a GRT mini after winning a discount at a fly in. I am happy with the results so far.

On to completing the AeroVee and turbo!

Photos look great! I do like the position of your starter button. You might want to trim your fingers a bit ... ;)

Looks great Robbie, we need a video so we can hear those simulated turbo sounds.
