Just last fall, the gentleman in the hanger next to me was out flying his Sonex with an Aerovee VW conversion and his crank broke. The prop left the aipplane and he and his instructor put the Sonex down in a farm field six miles east of Stevens Point airport. The end result was a Sonex on it's back and two very lucky almost unscathed pilots. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Stevens Point, WI E-mail: flyk...@charter.net Web: www.flykr2s.com
