Awesome work by Sonex and Casey, I met Casey in Tucson recently and hope to bring my Sonex Aerovee turbo to his field soon.

Well done for having a tailored training programme. Personally, I'd prefer the glider, but the mini jet looks fun.

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.

The tail wheel puts a lot of stress on the rudder that can tear the rivets apart causing catastrophic failure in flight. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epC0aZyMfc1-ldU&pp=ygUNc29uZXggZmFpbHVyZQ%3D%3D
@z3r3pmoto 29 күн бұрын
Read the top comment of that video. The issue was caused by a modified tail-wheel. "The most likely reason for this failure is the NON-STANDARD, NON-SONEX tailwheel pushrod. The top-mounted pushrod on this aircraft was prying the the rudder drive rib down. The kit-provided pushrod and installation has the tailwheel pushrod mounted UNDER the drive horn. This was a builder modification that was not thought out. Many builder modifications and "improvements" lead to unintended consequences. We see it all the time"

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.
@Triple_J.1 5 ай 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.
@PRH123 5 ай бұрын
@@Triple_J.1 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.
@Triple_J.1 2 ай бұрын
@@PRH123 that may be, that magazine articles were free publicity. But there is no way all the ads were free. He managed to always have millions of dollars to hire many people, design and build prototypes, and still never deliver. Where did the money come from? Hopeful customers. And where did it go? Hanger rent, employee salaries, etc. As to business, I've heard Bede had 60 employees before shipping a single BD-5 kit. There were 2-dozen people trying to compile parts and fill orders, and the dang airplane was still unstable and scaring test pilots. Why would anyone hire that many people to fulfill an unfinished and far from ready product? I would agree with Rutan on his assessment of bad business skills. (Except where did all the money come from i the first place, and for all subsequent designs?) Investors? No, Bede was running ads, displaying a price, asking for payments, and taking orders and money for a product that never was completed or even existed in the form it was advertised. Personally, based on his track record for a very long time. I have serious doubts be designed any successful airplanes, let alone certified ones. I suspect he took credit for other peoples effort.

That nose gear seems angry
@SonexLLC 11 ай бұрын
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.
