That is the first 500lb useful load single place I've ever seen.
It would be a great 2 place.

have a look at the sonerai

Sonerai and Sonex although I have to admit the Corvair powered
"Personal Cruiser" is a much nicer looking plane.

We have one Jabaru Powered Sonex and another group is just finishing
up a VW powered one.

I don't remember what's in the Sonerai, but I think it was a Corvair
engine. He was parked right next to the Deb in the T-hangar while he
was building it, but I don't remember for sure.

I've mentioned it before, but I think we have 17 active (under
construction) projects in our chapter at present.

the challenge for the rest of the chapter is to urge, cajole and
mollycoddle those projects to completion.

those who just sit around and urge sometimes have the hardest task :-)

Particularly if they are spouses.;-))

Probably about half of those projects are pretty well along with at
least 3 if not 4 or 5 are in the final assembly stage. I think that
is the 90% done, 90% to go part.

There is a turbocharged Glasair III that is almost ready to fly, a
Super II that is in final assembly. The 4-passenger version of the
longEZ (can't seem to remember the name of that one) is also in final
assembly. The two Sonex are in final assembly. There are at least 7
or 8 projects already flying in addition to those 17.

damn good effort though.
