Building a Sonex Airplane Serial #1612 4/20/13

Hello,

I'm starting on two projects that I never done before blogging and building an airplane.

I've wanted to fly since I was a little kid playing baseball watching Navel trainers doing touch-n-goes at the airfield we shared. You can see the little league baseball diamonds in the photo.  My eyes were always in the sky.

My dream of flying came true on July 1, 2011 when passed my check ride. I'm shaking hands with the FAA examiner Ron Albertson and next to me is my good friend and flight instructor Steve Swab.

The plane I'm building is a Sonex single engine two place (seats) airplane serial #1612.  I'm fortunate that there have been several built in the Kansas City area so I have a lot of technical support.

I got hooked on a Sonex when my friend Bob Mika gave me a ride in the Sonex he built. 

 
This is what my plane will look like when I get done. The only difference I won't have the nose wheel mine will be a taildragger configuration.  

Thanks for visiting my post.
