Sonex 1430

After 3 years and 10 month building, last Thursday 9 of October 2014 my Sonex #1430 registration 19-8464 flew for the first time by Steve Nelson as test Pilot. The Aerovee 2.1 Perform well but the flight have to be shorted due to a low pressure alarm about 7 minutes into the flight. Steve did an excellent job in landing it safely. Steve said the plane flies very well with light controls. Thanks to Sonex especially Kerry Fores for their support over the years and for their excellent Aircraft design. I enjoyed the building process very much. I would like to thank my wife Ans for her support. In addition to that, I would like to thank the SonexAus group, The Sport Aircraft Club of South Australia and the Aldinga Aero Club for their support. I also like to thank Bob Meyers for his very good Sonex Building Log on the webside.
