Sonex 0708
The first flight of Sonex 708 occurred on May 30, 2008 from Fort Collins/Loveland airport (FNL) at over 5000ft. The Sonex lived up to all my expectation. The 3300 Jabiru performance was excellent and do to your Cylinder Head Baffle design all temperatures stayed well within recommended ranges. Landing was smooth inspire of my first flight nerves.
Thanks to my wife Sharon, Sonex's technical supportfriends Roger Riewerts, Carl Sheldon, Jack Daniels, Gail, Dennis Burton and EAA Chapter 515 Hugh Beckham and David Nabor for their help in completing the project.
