Onex Chapter of "The Sonex Story"

[@sunkisses1516]

Can't wait to buy this to fly via Sonora CA to TheBay, Los Angeles, Las Vegas !! Life is Good as long as you don't give up !! Thank you for streamlining this craft and making one of my dream toys affordable :-)

[@stealhty1]

made the front page on EAA Magazine, Congratulations

[@SailOnFlyBy]

Great video guys! Beautiful.

[@yamascott]

The specs on this plane are incredible: 535 mile range, 140mph cruise, and it gets better mileage than my car! And at 1/6 the price of a production plane. I wanna go back to ground school to get my private pilot's license! (I didn't finish the first time, 20 years ago)

[@LeftSeatAdventures]

Too cool! 😁 Now that my project Sonex is flying again, I'm going to have to build one of these. Just need to make some room in the garage first... And my budget.... 🤣

[@timstarks1468]

How is your DAD and MOM.. I am a Soneri builder still flying 2 place. 2098 hours Same VW 2000CC MOTOR. ONE LOOKS GOOD...I am Now 66 . Love Monet planes Keep up the great work.

[@isaacmcpeek9636]

Wow! You've got 2100 hours on a sonerai that's INCREADABLE! I've got one I'm working on putting a new engine in and a Teenie two as well. I just love the sonerai mine has folding wings. I live in southern Ohio.

[@kuwaitparamotor]

Nice video and Aircraft , greeting to SONEX TEAM .

[@floydwatson3290]

Very cool little plane.

[@bishopcherrycoke6654]

this looks like alot of fun to build and fly. so far this kit is the least expensive way to get up in the air. i dont know how i feel about the foldable wings though.

[@deepakk628]

Hai, very impressive. Do you hav sales in India?

[@donlawrence1428]

nice looking bird.

[@NightSky777]

2020 Price Range? And Performance data?

[@bishopcherrycoke6654]

he pushes the handle towards the rear of the plane to fold the wings. silly question, could wind, debris or hitting a bird push that handle folding a wing in flight?

[@michaelb.8953]

To answer the question to my assumption I would say, no to wind, debris or a bird folding the wing simply because I would guess that in flight their is a tremendous amount of pressure on the internal mechanism that it wouldn't get dislodged that easily. A bird would have to strike the handle at just the perfect angle if it didn't strike the wing's leading edge first loosing most of it's energy before hitting the handle and at that point it would get deflected away from the handle if it even hit that area of the wing that the handle is located. Just go play the lottery on the day that you fly and if you loose then you're safe to fly. I know weird logic.

[@rickpellicciotti]

There is a spring loaded pin that holds the folding handle in position. You have to move that before you can push the handle to the fold position. If you don't want the folding wings, you can simply install bolts and the wings will be fixed.

[@DirtyBob2001]

What is the max pilot wt?

[@jjohnston94]

What are the large red and black levers on the left? I'm talking about the ones with the Plasti-dip handles, not the anodized throttle lever. Where are the brakes? Is there an option for toe brakes?

[@DerPilotMann]

flaps and brakes

[@dannymarcy4882]

Love it...!

[@mytubehkjt]

I'd love you to do a similar storey on the Xenos.

[@Planeolbob]

Soooo Nice..................

[@sugarpoultry]

Would this qualify as an ultralight, or does it still require a pilot's license?

[@SoundOfYourDestiny]

Ultralights have to be under 255 pounds, so no.

[@LegoShaq]

You could go for a sport pilot certificate, but it’s not a bad idea to get your private pilot certificate. Sport cert is obviously cheaper and quicker!

[@pbn609]

Beautiful i wana love it

[@bipolatelly9806]

i'm scared of folding wings.... i have a fear of the front wheel of my motorbike coming off at high speed too... (being stuck upside-down in a pipe as well.) and sharks.

[@rathwije1579]

Is this the same model can fixes micro jet engine please.

[@mavericmorph5358]

How much?

[@swarajsandhu]

Make a two seater somehow and its game over!

[@JoeCnNd]

Even if tandem id be ok with that.

[@q.e.d.9112]

paraunasahb They do. This is a scaled down version of their two seater plane. They also have a motor-glider version with a higher aspect ratio wing.

[@JoeCnNd]

Folding wings?

[@jesuslaboy1559]

What's the price?

[@djebomb888]

About 38,360

[@bhaskarparam9711]

Wow wow wow

[@theMekanik]

I want one ☝🏻 thanx 😎

[@kevinhughes2508]

I like the v-tail model the most. Is that the Onex as well? Or a different model?

[@antonwestergaard5211]

The v-tail is the Subsonex jet.

[@airplanedude419]

@@antonwestergaard5211 No its not. They have the Waiex also.

[@MichiganFann]

42 mpg? I thought airplanes were based on gph (gallon per hour)? As you could travel many more miles depending on location... still a great plane, would love to have one.

[@lawrencemiller3829]

@ 3:47, the spec states 42 MPG, 150 MPH TAS, at 8000'. It would seem the MPG is lower at lower altitudes. That is higher than I would prefer to fly, and I would consider oxygen there.

[@hobie1613]

Lawrence Miller there is no need for oxygen at just 8000 feet. I fly at 10,000 feet with no supplemental oxygen and haven’t ever had any problems. But you stick to altitudes that you think are safe to fly at.

[@TimDonk]

I want a jet powered version

[@NightSky777]

Look up "Sonex"

[@halilarslan3535]

If Will be 2 seats than very good

[@violiman]

i want it

RIP Jeremy. 3 years after this video, Jeremy was killed in one of these little airplanes.

Who is Jeremy?

[@lovedot652]

wow

[@violiman]

Whats the maximum range?

[@violiman]

thanks

[@AviationNut]

For $30k to $40k I would purchase one, but I would never spend $140k on this tiny thing. I would rather purchase an old Cessna 172 for $30k and spend another $30 on restoration. That way I would have a 4 seater certified aircraft for half the price of the tiny Sonex. This Sonax aircraft is mostly a toy for the rich and famous. I am not saying there is anything bad about the aircraft because it sure looks awesome, but this is not an aircraft you could take for a cross country trip with your family, that's the only reason I am saying it's more of a toy for a rich person that just wants something fun for a weekend.

[@airplanedude419]

Who said this airplane costs 140 grand?

[@majidmajid1848]

👍💎💖💘😔I love this air plane put I have no money to buy

[@H2R5GSXR]

After 10 years in the left seat, you will, unless you have two families and lives like some captains I knew.

[@toribiogarcia4788]

En español por favor 🙏

[@airplanedude419]

Kinda sad, that man died in a plane crash in a Sonex.
