Plans for the Onex are not sold separately from the kit, and the plans do not have "scratch building" details. The Onex is a kit built aircraft only.

- I am truly impressed by the effort and work you are providing on this plane project, but I have a slight criticism. It is a plane with straight wings. It is true that it gives the plane stability at slow speeds, but it is not made for maneuvers. - The simplest example is at 5:30 You can notice that the wing was affected in a different way than the fuselage, and if it was affected with a greater force, it could have been damaged and would have caused an efficiency problem. I did not have the opportunity from all angles to monitor the behavior of the wings during aerobatics, but I advise you to change the shape of the wings to ensure that no problems occur in the future, so wings Such as Delta Wing Shape or Swept Wings It will give the plane stability at high speeds, as well as strength and endurance during maneuvers and aerobatics. - I liked the idea of V-shape tail I believe that because of it, the plane was able to make all these movements, but if you decide to follow my advice, it is better to keep it in its shape with the addition of horizontal stabilizer flat with the surface of the delta shape wings or just put a twin tail dont forget to make all the horizontal stabilizer work as an elevator . - If you could give me some authority to study all the information you have collected on this project, I can direct you to the best choices for making an aircraft that reaches tremendous speeds and is also stable, whether at low or high speeds, while ensuring its efficiency in maneuvers and aerobatics, without forgetting the safety of the pilot and passengers. - All of this information that I presented came from my experience in the field of aviation engineering, especially Soviet aircraft such as the Su-30MKA and Sukhoi Su-27, also training ones like Yak-130 and L-39 . . But I do not have any certificates in the field of aviation. Only as an amateur I used to approach the places of these aircraft to study their shape and how they work with such solidity and fluidity, while asking questions to those in charge of the military and civilian facilities. I also had real-life experiences by flying alongside the pilot to see and observe how each piece worked. From planes. - in the past two years, I have been working on a project to manufacture a small aircraft, meaning enough for one person, but with the ability to reach a speed goal of 800 km per hour and a smooth ability with ease of control, which means stability. Then I can work on Range and Economics. . The problem is that I do not have the tools with which I can achieve my goals, such as a CNC milling machine, or even a place to set up my experiments in. Therefore, I gave up on my dream, but my interest is still based on it. You have truly inspired me, and I said, “If you are unable to reach your goals due to lack of conditions, just help Those who want to reach it and have the conditions available to do so.” - Thank you, with all due respect. I wish you every success in the future.

Look that little jet is amazing, but if I had my pick I think I'd take the jet-glider. Up in my buddies old duster he got tired of hearing me yell "What?!?", and cut the engine off, and turned around to talk to me like I hadn't just begin to have a damn stroke. Once he explained that the plane had fairly good glide characteristics and we were safe, rook a few deep breaths, prayed to anyone who might listen, and then took in the environment. It was awesome, in that being 10,000 feet up and just how quiet it really was and how much bigger our little corner of the world looked, inspired real awe in me. So being able to do that again with something built to glide and stay up for a while and packs its own deployable james bond jet engine, yeah I'd take that

A high wing LSA kit with a tail dragger option. If you are not interested in a purpose-desingned STOLmachine/bushplane there is little on the market like this with the possible exception of some tube fabric and some composite offerings like the Skyranger and Skyranger Nynga. But it's an Aluminium Sonex! Can I mount a Rotax 912is or a Rotax 914?

John went from success to success for decades. Kind of unjust that only people in experimental aviation know his name, whereas at one time everyone had heard the name Bede.
@TheJustinJ18 күн бұрын
Bede marketed his name and products. He kept the image and dream in front of a wide audience, with Popular Mechanics (popular, not functional). And later James Bond. Bede spent literally millions of dollars marketing. Money came in, it went into print. And lined his pocket. And that is all.
@PRH12318 күн бұрын
@@TheJustinJ Not sure about that, we was definitely good at marketing, but most of the publicity was free, he didn’t pay popular mechanics, or any of the aviation magazines for their articles. In an interview with Rutan, who had worked for him, he said that Bede was just not very good at managing the business. Great at designing (up to a point), great at selling, but not too good on the follow through. So it’s not fair to say he lined his pockets, his businesses failed actually many times. Nonetheless his early designs were very good, and they are still in production. But he was earnest in what he was doing, he wasn’t out to trick people. He was kind of a Daedalus figure with the BD5 and 10, he tried to reach farther than he was really capable of.

It has to overcome the pressure exerted by the nose gear door spring. The spring has to be strong enough to keep it closed in-flight.

I hope sonex realizes the benefit of a brs system in their aircraft. It has saved my life once. I’m a very safe pilot and I won’t say much about it to keep my anonymity but there are some jackass controllers and pilots out there. Plus night flying which some of us have to do for work make it a true transport option.
@TheJustinJ19 күн бұрын
You can install BRS in almost any aircraft with ingenuity or engineering. The parachute company will help. But straps around the spar, and a hatch out the back window is a good place to star.

@Hamperokken10 ай бұрын
I do mostly "sidecountry" flying. In and out of short grass strips but no real off airport flying. Occasionally maybe a farmers field or something. I dont need massive tires to roll over big rocks, but rugged suspension would be a big bonus. When landing very short there is sometimes a need to put the plane down quite firm. So I was wondering what you think about modding it with cabane vee suspension? Also, for the mechanically inclined of us, would you ever consider manual flaps and trim?
