High-wing Sonex???
What is the name of the 50? 60? year old homebuilt that looks like a
high-wing Sonex? I've been to the website - they even ask: 'Doesn't ______ look like a Sonex, with the wing on top?' http://builder.sonexaircraft.com/cgi...on=completions Pages of Sonex Aircraft completions. Montblack I thought I bookmark'd the site - guess not.

Sounds like you're thinking of the Tailwind.
John Monnett was pretty good friends with Steve Wittman, and at one point was starting to kit the Tailwind. Montblack wrote: What is the name of the 50? 60? year old homebuilt that looks like a high-wing Sonex?

You are probably thinking of a Wittman Tailwind.

Itsn't the Wittman Tailwin "angular"? It did cross my mind though when
I first read MOntblack's post, with the rearward fslanting gearlegs and that windshield being same angle as the front cowl and all. The Monk

I'd bet the third one is flying by summer. There's about 4 or 5 guys working on that one.
