This comes in via @AOPA:

"Sonex high-wing design deep dive - Sonex Aircraft shared updates on its anticipated high-wing aircraft design project, including new renderings, specifications, design changes, and an official name, the Sonex Highwing.”

Sonex is the latest kitplane manufacturer to jump on the high-wing train, joining Van’s to capitalize on the backcountry/STOL momentum.

If you’ve seen the 2023 Sun ’N Fun Flyin calendar, you might have noticed John Stahr’s “American Angel” RV-8 on the cover. They are also using it on their show poster for this year.

John used to be in my @EAA chapter, and this short vid is us on a formation flight over the Eugene Emeralds minor league baseball game on July 4th a few years back.
