Recorded April 14, 2010
Presented by Jeremy Monnett, CEO of Sonex Aircraft, LLC. This "mini Sonex Workshop" begins with a brief history of the Sonex Family of Aircraft then moves to a discussion of Sonex Aircraft Construction techniques and tools required. This is followed by a "Using the Plans" presentation and wraps up with the Sonex Aircraft view of the Sport Pilot. Plenty of time is left for general questions about all things Sonex. Also, find out what makes the Sonex, Waiex, and Xenos the perfect choices for your Sport Pilot Homebuilt.

Yikes!!! A Waiex with a turbo v is almost double what it used to be!
Looks like a lot has changed the last 4 years.

Why do all the Xenos wings look as if the aluminum is denting when flying. If you look at the videos on RUclips.

[@SonexLLC]

The Xenos wings (just like the wings of all metal wing gliders) flex quite a bit in-flight, so what you are seeing is normal. If long wings can't flex, they'll just break.
