co2bruce Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 just read the first customer built Sonex Jet had a gear up and sustained damage. Hope everyone is alright and the damage is minimal.

ryoder Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 No gear warning horn? This sucks. Now He is going to have to tear engine and get new blades. Oh yeah, he doesn't have to do that! Pretty cool really.
jetdriven Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Nah, anytime you gear up an airplane you must split the case and check the crank and cam
bonal Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Nah, anytime you gear up an airplane you must split the case and check the crank and cam it's a jet there was no strike so what would need inspecting?
ryoder Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 it's a jet there was no strike so what would need inspecting? if you have a friend with a Cessna you can go ahead and split his case.
jetdriven Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 it's a jet there was no strike so what would need inspecting? the crank and cam. Might as well put a new set of rings and a valve job on it too while you're in there.
