Sonex: History and Heritage

Hey Guys,

Resent talk about “fixed” vs “full swivel” tail wheels made me think of a video I stumbled across recently. The topic has been discussed for a long time. Anyway, here is a thread where we can discuss how we got to where we are :slight_smile:

If you have time to watch, it’s also funny to see how guys used to start VWs by first flooding them (with a slide carb) and then clearing the flood and jumping for the fuel valve.

Here is a link to the video: Great Plains Sonerai Video.
