Sweet! Looks and sounds great, can't wait to see it fly. If I ever swap engines, one of these is on my short list.

Very clean install! Look forward to the finished project 👍

I just ordered my own Waiex B kit minus the firewall forward kit. I've been seriously looking into the same engine package. I really hope you keep going with content on your new toy. There seems to be a void of good sonex videos. :)

Awesome engine!

Looking forward to seeing what size and type of propeller you install. I'm pretty sure this engine installation requires the prop shaft centerline be placed about 2-inches lower than Jabiru, Rotax, UL Power engines. The AM induction system just sits at least 2 or 3 inches higher above prop centerline. This is a concern I have for going with AM on my Skystar Pulsar III. I apologize for hijacking your video-- right now your project is by far the most exciting and encouraging one around! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the vid!

I had an aero on my weightshift trike It was great! nice work!

Can you post an update video? This looks like a really good project.

Good setup!

Very nice. Also nice to see a custom panel in a Sonex. Could you make a video about how you enlarged the panel to accommodate the Dynon and the IPad (?) to the right of it?

Beautiful power plant and all of it makes sense. Sonex queation: can one build with side sticks should they want?

Nice! Curious about the upper engine mount and engine g loading, without triangulation. Looks like the top mounts have extreme leverage.

I like the backlit instrument panel where the switches are mounted! Did you make it or where did you have it made?

Thank you for posting a detailed video for the engine, any new update for the engine because I am looking to buy same one? Thank you.

What propeller did you order? What length? How many blades? Were you able to calculate an expected top cruise speed? Thanks. I'm very close to placing a deposit on an AM13hHP @ 126hp. It's for a Skystar Pulsar III which is very similar size and weight. Your project is inspiring!

looks neat! what would be the installed weight including the radiator, oil cooler and all other ancillaries?

Love love love this ... One question: There was a Kitfox video saying he had issues with vibrations on the cooler in the front. You?

I recently received my Aeromomentum AM15HP engine also. Very Nice install. Cant I contact you regarding the install?

any updates? I'm just getting close to buying an engine for my Dakota Hawk project and was looking closely a the aeromomentum.

I assume you still have to install a muffler. It must be a southern US airplane, for I do not see hoses for a cabin heater. It is very important for Canadian operations. I started on a Z750 several years ago, and now with the Sonex high wing coming, I might abandon the tail and switch to the Sonex. The Z 750 is just too slow.

Hi I was wondering if your Luga came yet? I have been waiting for my Luga 16 months. Did your mount your warp drive prop yet? By the way your sonex looks great!!

great set up. love to hear an update ESPN the AM15. did you weigh the engine yourself? qhat ECU? can you adjust/program it?

How much propclearance will you have?

Are you going to go with a fixed prop or constant speed? Also curious on what version and specs you are choosing.

What is the verdict, I wanna see you put some hours on it :) ... We are planning on rolling the dice and giving the AM15 the green light for our zenith build. Hope all is going well!

Great progress. Question on your engine mount. Did you order from Sonex or was it custom-built for your AM15? Thanks. Let me know when you will accept visitors to your build. Am a potential Waiex purchase.

Will the AeroMomentum fit under the standard Sonex cowling or will you have to make significant mods or a whole new cowling?

Hey tim.....just wondering if you got the plane flying and what experience you have had with the am15??

Have you attempted to fit the cowl and estimate how much modification is required?

What is your FWF all up weight with all fluids ect.? What reinforcements were made to firewall and internal structures if greater than Sonex's recommended 200 lb max FWF weight?

Nice. Cost? How was dealing with Aeromomentum?

Are you flying this yet? If you do, how is the performance and fuel burn?

What about the engine cowling? What does that look like?

What were the benefits of this engine that made you go with it over the Jabiru? My understanding is the horsepower is basically the same.

How long did it take you to complete this much?

Who did the motor mount?

Any update on your sonex?

Hey man, I was wondering if you had the external engine dimensions. I want to see if one will fit in a reflex lightning bug. It's got a really small cowling lol.

I like these engines way better then aeroVee never trusted VW engines tinkered with them in the 80's and 90s they always leaked and eventually overheat. Just a fact you don't see air cooled engines still being used today in any application except aircraft. While certified engine builders have worked out all the bugs of air cooled engines they cost 25-50k. The only thing holds me back from the sonex is the location of the fuel tank I know lot of older aircraft stuck the tank behind the engine just seems dangerous to put a tank of fuel behind a hot engine your sitting right behind it.

Wish I could afford a sonex I already live on an airfield but just cant afford to fly it's sucks

Feel safer with a 40amp nippondenso alternator on there. 20 amp is kinda low...

OMG just listen to that ECU-controlled, EFI, high energy electronic ignition, multi-sensor-monitored, precision internal toleranced, high performance, affordable, low maintenance, high reliability, liquid cooled powerplant!!! I am SO DONE with crappy carburetors, low energy ignitions that require spark plug gaps at 0.022", inefficient air cooling, self-destructive EGT and CHT, dangerous exhaust muff cockpit heaters, etc. The only advantage to traditional aviation boxer engines IMO is the form factor is easily accommodated in most aircraft cowls.
