QaQ Ha', 'etlhmey jInmol: My vison realised

Yesterday I was presented with a birthday surprise.  I was at the sushi restaurant waiting for the skilled chefs to finish creating the heap of sushi we were to eat. My family and I were thinking hard about what we could possibly do for fun without phones. Suddenly Dad passed me his phone, open to an email, as I read it for the first time, a smile spread across my face. A member of the Sonex community had chosen to sell his Sonex kit, and offered it to me for a price within my budget.  All of my work had paid off, I was on the road to make my vision reality! I had long dreamed about it, but now it was happening.




The current plan is to make the long drive to the kit in April. Before we leave, I will need to clear out a workshop in the garage. Once we make it to the kit location, we will need to carefully load up the parts, taking care to wrap the finished ones in plenty of blankets.

I am truly thankful and abundantly appreciative of everyone who has helped me on my dream so far:

2016 Kansas City Turkey Shoot Report

This Thanksgiving my family went to Kansas City to visit friends and family. Well, when you have two or more old aviation buddies in the same city, you tend to form a bit of a gathering. Thus the 2016 KC Turkey Shoot was created. It involved 3 Sonex , and a beautiful Cessna. And consisted of a flight from a Gardner Airport to We-B-Smoking BBQ at Miami County Airport. I Flew down with Bob Mika's in Katie, his Sonex, while my dad and two friends ,Zander and Laney ,flew in Mr Ron's smooth Cessna. I even got to fly for about 10 min! It may not have been hours, but  the Aerovee-powered plane flew wonderfully in the  morning air. Once we arrived, my nose was overrun by the luxurious scent of pancakes, and when I surveyed the room, I saw countless airplane pictures. (I lost the photo, Y'all will just have to go) http://www.websmokin.com/  Sitting down to eat at a table that seemed average, we awaited th...

Plane Painted

When I flew my plane to OSH23, I saw an artist painting a small depiction of an airplane. She was painting a very small photorealistic scene from a phone image. I could not believe how detailed she was able to make it! She let me watch over he shoulder as she worked. I was so impressed that I commisisoned a similar painting of my sonex. Id like to share that painting with you all. Her name is Rhonda DeGarmo. She has a lot of other work. If you're interested in getting in touch with her please reach out to me and I will pass along her information.

Isaac's Flying Stories Ep 7: The 2018 Midwest Sonex Fly in!

 This Year's Midwest Sonex Fly in was a smashing success, great weather, fantastic food, and 30+ Sonex Builders and Pilots showed up! My dad and I flew in from our home airport in Mississippi. The flight to Fayetteville only took about 3 hours, with a fuel stop meaning we rolled in just in time for lunch. We signed in and got our raffle tickets for the door prizes. This year there were Sonex T-shirts, 2' sensenich propeller clocks, a 50% off a Sport EX EFIS from GRT avionics certificate, and a certificate for a free elliptical Prince Prop. After catching up with old friends over tacos and brownies, we began the raffle. It was tense as the higher and higher prizes were awarded. One woman won a T-shirt but no one wanted to ask her size for fear of offending her! After the drawing there was a line of storms moving in so we took one final group picture and those who were flying southeast (away from the storm) took off. My dad and I rolled the plane into a hanger and sat back in...
