The Right Seat with Tony Spicer

The original Sonex Builder Video and still the best! Ride along with Tony Spicer, builder of Sonex SN# 32 -- the first customer-built Sonex to be completed and flown. In this 1 hour video, Tony talks about his build and gives an amazing flight demonstration of the Sonex aircraft's capabilities while you ride-along in The Right Seat!
Previously only available on DVD, this popular video is now available in its full-length online!

This video is why I built my Sonex. 800 hours of flying later and its still one of the best things I've done. Thank you Tony!

[@Lester-te3vb]

WOW!! What a ride. Enjoyed your video very much.

[@JohnMGreiner]

Thanks for keeping our rivers safe! Loved it.

This guy really knows how to have fun in a homebuilt. My fear was of him getting shot down by a sampan but it looks like he had it pretty much under control... Great video and great guy

[@marcusrussell8660]

I think this video sold more Sonex airplanes than any other.

[@cowboy6591]

Thee best flight video ever, Never been taken through a Front seat view of all the stunts. Great job.

[@paulc-jg4ug]

Excellent video.....I really enjoyed all of it. I am hoping to eventually get a Sonex ....after this video it may be sooner than later. Thanks again for sharing

[@cecilwhiting125]

And I thought my Bo N35 had a smooth start up- Pilot builder with awesome attitude to motivate future hm builders !

[@CigRacing]

So great ! Thanks for an excellent Sonex fun flight! Love that you use it for the fun of flying. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!! ~From a Sonex Candidate 🔥

Abso bloody wonderful Tango Mike....really nice growl from the motor great control, love to have one....I took lessons back in 1982, Cessna 152. Couldnt do any of that, so I looked around for a acro plane...Not much around that was affordable, mostly biplanes and they ran about 50g back then...Ultra lights were just beginning but you couldnt do anything like acrobatics in those either. Here we are and I think I can finally make it all happen...Very happy...

[@scotabot7826]

Awesome aircraft and awesome video. I need to stop in your strip one day on the way to my family beach house on Topsail. Again, what a great video, aircraft and pilot!!!!

[@aidencornett693]

I love these plains,

[@jessehaneyjr.3125]

Great video. Thanks a million.

[@samtuck6400]

VERY NICE. I know exactly where you are!

[@benhansen6308]

Tony, I am considering building one of these, and was wondering how tall you are, how much you weigh (your not female so I can ask) and how do you fit? I am 6" and 235lbs and I know the sonex crew is petite compared to me. Thanks for the great video! Ben

[@Ahcelaht]

Would one of these be a good plane for a new pilot (first plane)?

[@captainpegs0740]

How does he polish without messing up the graphics/paint?

[@scottsipe3989]

CAN YOU TELL ME IF YoU GUYS ARE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER FLY IN.? I KNOW THIS IS BEEN QUIET A FEW YEARS AGO AND THIS IS 2022 SO CAN YOU TELL ME IF YOU STILL HAVE THE PLANE? I LOVE THIS PLANE AND I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN BUYING A PLANE. YOU REALLY DONE A GREAT JOB ON IT I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO OWN ONE.

[@gaetanogiordano8231]

tony how much trouble was putting the corvair engine in the sonex?

[@andymike6575]

Gaetano Giordano it’s a 6 cylinder jabiru

[@douglasgrant7421]

Great video how is the ground handling with a taildragger.

[@SonexLLC]
