Two additional workshop dates have been announced. There will be another winter/spring workshop on February 27th and 28th, and the spring workshop will take place on May 22nd and 23rd. You may register for either workshop by phone at (920) 231-8297.

Sonex prototype #1 has now had six flights with the120 hp Jabiru. An oil cooler has been installed per Jabiru's suggestion, and this has improved on the high oil temperatures we had observed in previous flights. A new carburator will be installed as we have observed some poor carburation at full throttle (using Jabiru-supplied Bing carb). We have now consistently seen a cruise speed of 160 mph with a top speed of 172 mph. The 80 hp Jabiru tricycle gear sonex was on display at the December workshop, and is now the primary project.
