Cool plane but strange that it has no stabilisator

[ZOA NOM]

It has two... they are in a vee configuration. No vertical stabilizer needed. Same as the Piper Bonanza (Doctor Killer).

Technically it's a Y tail.  It has a little mini rudder on the bottom to turn the V into a Y.  You can see it in Jim Hicke's cool Waiex acrobatics video.

Looks slippery, what's the stall speed?

[ZOA NOM]

Very cool plane. Looks "affordable" too... Maybe it's time to trade in the race car...

Stall speed is listed as 40mph.  Here is the specifications for the newer B model.  I don't think they changed the specs at all, except for a couple things like fuel capacity.

I have about $30K into the airplane.  I also drive a $500 1998 Saturn SC2 (in the picture background), and my FJ was paid off in February 1990.  My other bike, the 1981 GN400, was bought and paid for in 1983.  Though I admire what some of you guys are doing with mods and stuff, my money goes into the airplane.  I'll probably keep the FJ stock forever, except for the blue spots of course.

It is a Sonex Aerovee. Basically a converted type 1 bug motor, 2180cc, 80 HP.

Ha!  I have very little simulator time. I have a fair amount of time for a hobbyist.  A big chunk of my time is either towing or flying gliders. A little of it is flying helicopters.

Simple proven design. Looks like an absolute blast.

Are you sure about it being a Type 1 motor?

Noel  the last year i have not been flying because the harddrive and partly the computer i had everything installed has crashed .I now just have a old  little simple computer running vista   that is way to weak to run the simulator with all the addon scenery's aircrafts weather programs airports  ets ets.
I'm not sure what the latest version is as i haven't kept updated on anything for the last year. I have the fsx version with most available extra addon programs.
So you are also a computerpilot thats cool
