Hello, I just received my Sonerai II plans from Sonex yesterday. I plan on building a 2 seat mid-wing 2180 VW. I'm building it so my wife and I can have our own plane to enjoy, and graduate away from renting Cherokees on the weekends. Any advice is welcome before I start!

Before settling on the mid-wing, find one to sit in, both you and wife. The low wing offers more room for the front because the seat back can be moved back several inches due to lowering the spar carry through
