You all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Kaleb Alessandro Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I did a very down and dirty sortie cost analysis of this vs another EAB aircraft in a similar price range, but powered more conventionally, based on the scenario of a trip from Scottsdale to Burbank and back, and without accounting for fixed costs, if you pick and choose your fuel stops well, it's only mildly more expensive to operate the subsonex than that piston single. It's lack of fuel to make the whole trip without a couple/few stops means the total time is also fairly close to even, so like every other aircraft, you have to figure out what the mission is before you choose what to build. I think for it's given mission, the "mini A-10" is a triumph! ..., I'll be choosing something that carries more, further, but that doesn't take anything away from the cool factor of the "almost any man's jet." Maybe someday, my mission requirements will change.
@el_juano : Sooo... for the same trip, similar cost, similar trip time. No brainer, go for the jet and arrive all buzzed-up, with a goofy grin like a teenager at a strip club! 😋 🥴
Really cool aircraft and idea, I am sure sooner than later technology will reach the point where a larger 2 seater version will be able to be powered by such a small engine
For sure i can say its a very nice job. But i still wondering in what principles based to build it. It's not quite simply even some can handle the metal sheet like paper or so. Really love it.
Congratulations! This is not on my bucket list but probably should be. How many hours does the little turbojet engine run between overhauls? How old are you? Any medical issues?Do you need a sports pilot license or some kind of jet license?--CCW
TBO (time between overhauls) is only 300 hrs. Not very long. I think you'd likely have to ship the engine back to Chech Rep. for rebuild. Not seen a price for that...may be too early in the lifetime of these aircraft.
The truly personal jet... at a reasonable price! Anyone price out a nice Corvette lately? I would say this airplane is in the right ballpark. Very cool. Maybe someday if I get far enough out from this cancer to get an initial medical so I can then use BasicMed (it doesn’t help those of us who have never had a medical and would need a special issuance). Any way to make a Light Sport jet?
hey man,sorry to hear about the cancer! i hope you are well and have beat it! would be nice to hear back from you with a update! if not,i understand,stay safe bro.
Congrats on a gorgeous machine, beautifully executed. I agree - best paint scheme so far! Two questions. 1- does the jet engine prevent you from certain fields due to noise regs (I.e. Does it fall into traditional Chapter 2, 3, other, etc or is it exempt?) 2- anything about the design preclude installing a ballistic recovery system?
Sonex sells the kits for just about $100K with the engine included. You can add whatever goodies you like after that point. Maybe $150K with the parachute.

I’ll consider two, one in red the other in shiny gloss black. Please also add a 20mm Gatling gun in the nose and at least 4 sidewinders, 2 under each wing. Oh, yeah, you might wanna change out the jet for a slightly more powerful one, since I’m adding a bit of extra weight with my extra options.
Nice work.. very well done! Too bad there's only one seat and no place to carry a backpack or small bag with clothes. Yeah I know they have a 2 seat trainer now that's side-by-side.. Ugghh! The whole point is to have the fighter jet 'experience' for those of us who never got that chance...
Congrats on such remarkable accomplishment. Not to mention the best paint scheme on this plane so far. Hope to have my own some day. Safe flying.
Beautiful! Imagine; the TWO SEAT SONEX JET is round the corner!
Best looking Sonex I've seen so far. Great job taking your time on this one.
Good seeing you here, Mike.
RIP
What a sound and no strobe like effect from props that brings on nausea. Fantastic.
I absolutely love these, and it's a bucket list must for me as well.
Awesomeness

The paint job!!!!!!! Way to go!!!!

That's a lovely jet reminds me how I used to do make airfix model kits love to build one even if I never fly it.
Fantastic👌Love the shots above the clouds...what a buzz🤗
This airplane crashed yesterday in Cross Lake near Shreveport, La.
Somebody is LOADED
Nice! Congrats on your success! Cool little plane. My brother wants to build one of these.
I would "just do it" if I had the money.
Exactly! If I only "just" had the money.
Go make it.
For sure i can say its a very nice job. But i still wondering in what principles based to build it. It's not quite simply even some can handle the metal sheet like paper or so. Really love it.
me too. nowin my 40's, and can afford a plane. see you up there soon!
If they ever make a 2-seat version...
Lol! They are presenting the two place jet at oshkosh 2019.

Good question, GA/PP License or ok just to have Light Sport license?
You need at least a PPL-ASEL, and since it’s a jet you also have to pass a type-rating check ride.

On Sunday, 23 May 2021, this plane crashed in Cross Lake near Shreveport, LA killing the current owner/pilot..
....and it was the pilot's fault, by all accounts. He was doing barrel rolls at very low altitude over the lake.
What licence do you need for it?
Beautiful!

He's got a BRS installed you can see it in one of the shots and the handle in the panel.
pretty cool but only thing that concerns me is sitting right in front of the fuel tank!
Hello, what fuel is use ? Thanks you
Jet
what should I do to be a reseller of the products you manufacture from aviation
What was your total cost of the build?
Sonex sells the kits for just about $100K with the engine included. You can add whatever goodies you like after that point. Maybe $150K with the parachute.
@@UncleKennysPlace i think viper jet is near that price
That's really cool. I want one too!
Beautiful paint job...
That is such a gorgeus plane, how did you come up with the paint scheme, i love it. Fantastic.
Como ser vendedor desse avião experimental a jato?
also how tall are you? I'm 6'4 and have issues in some planes
How fast??
I think it was capable of plus 360 mph
How much does it cost
About $97k for the kit & engine. Then a bit more for avionics (instruments) and paint.
How much does one cost?
Some comments have said between 95k to 150k.
Dreams are worth building.
"Honey I shrunk the jets!"
Like • Cheers from Mettetal Airport. Canton, Michigan ✈️
just watch out for bees! in the jet.
BARLY ENOUGH ROOM FOR A FART !!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How much thought?
Ali Alrashidi About $150K
Base price 42.000
plus 60k Engine and the base is really bare. 120k-150+ all in.

I’ll consider two, one in red the other in shiny gloss black.
Please also add a 20mm Gatling gun in the nose and at least 4 sidewinders, 2 under each wing. Oh, yeah, you might wanna change out the jet for a slightly more powerful one, since I’m adding a bit of extra weight with my extra options.
I can see this having 50 cal to 20mm guns but a sidewinder might be too heavy. You might have to settle with dumb rocket pods instead.
@@mill2712 true
Would of made it wider for a seat on the side
Very nice good job....
with your support I believe I can sell hundreds of these little experimental aircraft.
Egad, for the princely sum of $114,000 you too can do it.
Alonzo Branson Just pocket money lol.
Donald Chump change
I’m not real excited about that fuel tank placement coupled with a ballistic parachute rocket right on top of 40 gallons of jet fuel.
Nice work.. very well done! Too bad there's only one seat and no place to carry a backpack or small bag with clothes. Yeah I know they have a 2 seat trainer now that's side-by-side.. Ugghh! The whole point is to have the fighter jet 'experience' for those of us who never got that chance...
Yep, would be much better (& Practical) if it could haul some gear
👍🙏🏼❤️
I am an electrical engineer and I know a lot about the assembly part.
How about the paying and flying parts?
Let's see you fly it.....
WANT
that would be cool.
Двигатель как будто игрушечный
Small Heinkel He 162
:p
I don't know why I'd give a shit about any of this if you don't tell me how fast it goes.
Wish I was a rich educated white man
Good job you don’t have to assemble or fabricate 51% of the engine, avionics, instruments…
Too bad subsonic can't put external gas tanks on this jet.
Hopefully another retired baseball player doesn't buy one and crash it.
stop talking and get on with it????
