Sonex Build Project Update
Hi Everyone, here is the update on the progress of my Sonex. I'm taking a break for a little while while life pushes me in different directions. I'm not giving up on the project. I just need to make some tweaks to what I am working on for the moment.

    I tried something similar in a Cessna 152 years ago. Flying solo. Long story short, she made it to 10,200 feet. Not 1 foot more. Nose was still raised a bit in a climb attitude, but flying “level” so to speak. No hypoxia symptoms. Not high enough I guess. That was a fun little flight.

    Saw your video of the JetCat P200RX engine runup. I assume many are familiar with the SubSonex Jet with the PBJ engine. As I understand it the PBJ engine has very expensive and IMHO, ridiculous and prohibitive maintenance requirements & costs. Looking around I see engines such as the AMT LYNX GAS TURBINE MET 1569 with 300+ lbs of thrust with a more reasonable price and hopefully much more reasonable maintenance requirements. Does anyone here have any thoughts regarding this? TBoone in Texas 0TX1

    Very interesting aircraft. What is the status of the aircraft? Was it every repaired? Can't imagine building something for 20 years and then this happening.

  • @tdrager

    Thanks for your video. My Xenos plans call for the 3/64 hole in the hinge. However, I thought it meant to also drill into the pin. Since it is steel, I thought that might be error-prone. Your video just saved me a ton of aggravation.

    Any idea what the fuel economy was at that altitude?

  • @Hazza4257
    @Hazza4257 Рік тому

    Main limitation for flying cross country in a 172 or similar at such a high altitude is the strength of the winds. if it's behind you, great. if it's a decent headwind down low, I woulda thought you'd be practically standing still at those altitudes

    Great video! I am a student pilot and I know that my first solo flight is coming up soon and I want to get a recording of it. But since I do not own the plane I don't want to stick anything permanent on the ceiling of the plane that I am renting. You mentioned that the mount is very sticky. Do you think it could still be removed without damaging the surface that it is attached to? Thanks!
