Sonex Kitplane as a viable aircraft for Sportsman aerobatic contests
hi all,
i am new to the group, this is my first post. i am also a new pilot but am interested in learning more about Aerobatic competitions. i have flown alot of R/C aerobatic competitions so Aresti diagrams, flying within the box and power management are things i am a little bit familiar with. i am just gathering information at this point and was directed to this forum as a place to start. i am interested in building a Sonex kitplane. they have a new Aerobatic version with larger ailerons. the attractive part is the price. there is an 80 hp motor and a 120 hp motor. either way for around $30,000 they claim that a fellow could compete in the Sportsman Aerobatic contests. I have searched this forum and found basically nothing about this particular airplane. that maybe my first clue that this aircraft won't work, but i thought i'd ask. what i would like is a few opinions on whether this kit plane could work or not. as i said earlier, the price is attractive because the Citabria's etc..... are easily twice the cost. thanks, Darren |
