Sonex Airplane First Start




Title:
Sonex Airplane First Start

Description:
First start of my AeroVee 2.1 engine that will be powering my Sonex home built aeroplane (VH-CNZ). Plane was built over 2.5 years and took 1201 hours total. AS you can hear, the engine runs roughly as the carby is set way too rich - found out by leaning the mixture in the cockpit. Have to adjust the carby needle to lean it up a bit (AeroCarb).

Sonex- "Hop In!" and check out this Paint!
N771AK was built by Aaron Knight, who was kind enough to give me a hop in his Jabiru 3300 powered Sonex, since I'm building a Sonex airframe and had not yet seen one completed. It's a stout little bird that flies great- pure fun-, and the color-shifting paint job really sets it apart on the ramp! Special thanks to Aaron for flying the Sonex over to my local field with his son to show me the plane! Going for a ride sure helps with the motivation to keep building!
