The airworthiness certificate for my Sonex was issued on October 8, 2016, and the first flight was eight days later. It took me about 4 years and 3 months to complete it. The airplane is powered by a Hummel 2400 VW engine and the prop is Prince P-tip carbon fiber.
Sonex N783JB was painted with Interlux Brightside Marine topside paint and it was rolled on.
