Sonex Aircraft, LLC
tells ANN that they have completed the sale of Sonex Plans Serial
Number 1,000, marking a significant milestone for the young kit
aircraft company. Rick Cavett of Ridgeland, Mississippi recently
purchased a Sonex Complete Airframe Kit and was issued Plans number
1,000. Cavett is an instrument-rated private pilot with over 250
hours of flight time. The Sonex will be his first homebuilt
aircraft project and he chose the Sonex, instead of plans-building
a competitor’s aircraft, because of the ease of building
offered by the Sonex Complete Airframe Kit plus the lower cost
compared to other kits of comparable performance.
“Congratulations to Rick for being a part of this
milestone and for purchasing one of the most popular kit aircraft
available in the market today,” said Sonex Aircraft, LLC
General Manager and CEO Jeremy Monnett. “We attribute all of
the rapidly expanding Sonex, Waiex, and Xenos success to some
simple criteria: The Best Performance Per Dollar, the best and most
complete set of plans in the industry, outstanding customer support
by phone, fax, or e-mail, and a strong builder network that is
extremely enthusiastic about the airplane. We’ve always said
an aircraft project can only be completed if you’re in love
with it and our builders definitely love their airplanes! More
builders and pilots are discovering the Sonex, Waiex, and Xenos
every day and we look forward to working with every one of them to
build their dream. Thanks again to all of our customers, suppliers,
employees, friends, and family who continue to make Sonex Aircraft
one of the most successful businesses in the sport aviation
industry.”
Sonex Aircraft, LLC
began selling plans for its all-metal, low-wing Sonex sport plane
in 1998. The aircraft was originally only available as a
plans-built project, however, Sonex Aircraft quickly began selling
component part kits. The kits have evolved over the past eight
years into the Complete Airframe Kit, which includes virtually all
of the material necessary to build the aircraft, mostly in the form
of pre-fabricated parts. In 2004, Sonex Aircraft expanded its
product line with the Waiex sport plane and Xenos sport motorglider
Complete Airframe Kits. As of this writing, there are 133 Sonex
Aircraft flying, with new completions being reported every month,
and there is a grass-roots movement of Sonex builder gatherings and
clubs emerging around the globe.
Sonex Aircraft, LLC offers a series of Sport Pilot eligible kit
aircraft along with the AeroConversions line of products which
include the AeroVee engine, AeroCarb and ancillary aviation
products.
Sonex Aircraft’s Sonex and Waiex sport planes, and the
Xenos sport motorglider offer outstanding performance in an easy to
build, easy to fly kit package that can be purchased and completed
with full technical support at an unrivaled price. Sonex and
AeroConversions continue to invest heavily in developing new
products.
