SONEX is a basic and economical
all metal two place monoplane. Designed to meet the needs of the
European and Domestic sport aircraft markets, it can incorporate
various light weight contemporary engines of 80 to 120 hp (engine
package weight of less than 200 lbs.) The three recommended
powerplants include the 2180cc Volkswagen, 2200 Jabiru, and 3300
Jabiru. Outstanding performance is achieved through its clean
aerodynamic shape and simple, light weight construction.
The Sonex Plans contain many options, including a
tailwheel or tricycle landing gear along with a center or dual
stick. Motor Mount drawings are supplied for all three recommended
powerplants.
Sonex is now available as one of the most
complete kits in the industry. The new Sonex Kit includes all of the
previous "Easy-Build" options along with pre-formed wing ribs, fuse
formers, and control surface ribs. Using the new Sonex Kit, you can
complete your own Sonex for between $18,000 and $26,000 including
engine, upholstery and instruments! It is also still possible to
build from Scratch using only the "bare essentials".
