2019 Airventure Oshkosh Sonex Waiex over the Rockies

[@kenrichards-statefarminsur6249]

I live in Grand Junction. Been thinking about a Waiex. This convinced me it will work at this altitude. Thanks

Another great and inspiring video. Thanks

What an amazing video. Those views are epic. And yes we are the luckiest people. Nice work Jim

Hi Jim, Say, I noticed that you have the Acro Flap/Ailerons. Would you mind giving me your approach/landing speeds? I'm almost to the taxi test stage and am building my V speeds chart (I also have the Acro set up. Thanks again. Haven't seen any new vid's lately. If you go to Oshkosh this year I'll be looking forward to your vid update. Fly-on !!!

Beautiful scenarios, including the nice SONEX, thank you

What was GPH rate on your trip with that 150 cruise speed 🤔 Thanks for sharing 👍

[@studflyer]

Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@Manish25031975]

Thanks for sharing. Breathtaking view of the mountains. Where and how did you fix the camera?

[@bibrakc]

Very beautiful! What engine do you have on your Sonex?

[@kyqx]

Keep 'em coming!

[@petec9582]

You've got two antennas on top and one below. Which ones do what? Also beautiful videos

[@JimHicke]

The bottom one was my original radio but it received too much interference from the engine. I added one to the top of the aircraft and the interference was gone. I kept the bottom one to connect to my backup handheld radio (which I've never had to use).

Thanks for the video !!! What was your altitude to get across the Rockies at that latitude? TAS ? I follow your adventures so keep um coming !!! I'm building SNB-0017, 1/2 done.

I went to 11,500 and trued out at 150mph

America the beautiful. Land of the free, for now. But how much longer.

[@seth6537]

Indefinitely

If my local airport (7B2) had cute line girls in shorts, flight instruction would go way up!
