Labor-Saving Upgrade Available Now
Prolific homebuilt aircraft
manufacturer Sonex Aircraft, LLC announced Friday the introduction
of a new labor-saving Sonex Aircraft Complete Airframe Kit Upgrade
Option: Machined Angle Components.
Sonex says the Machined Angle Component Kit almost completely
eliminates the need to fabricate parts from raw 6061-T6 aluminum
angle extrusion, offering a significant reduction in Sonex Aircraft
built time, thus saving the builder approximately 200 hours or more
of construction time.
The Machined Angle Component Kit can be used in combination with
the recently introduced Optional Pre-Assembled Main Wing Spars to
offer a total build time reduction of approximately 200-300
hours.
“These two new Complete Airframe Kit options makes the
entire family of easy to build Sonex Aircraft easier to build than
ever before,” said Sonex Aircraft, LLC CEO Jeremy Monnett.
“These CNC produced parts are manufactured with the highest
quality and accuracy standards that all Sonex and AeroVee customers
have become accustomed to. These part offerings continue the Sonex
tradition of offering remarkable value per dollar while strictly
maintaining compliance with the FAA’s Experimental
Amateur-built “Major Portion” regulations.”
Machined Angle Component Kit upgrade prices range from $1,700 to
$2,100, depending upon the model of Sonex Aircraft Complete
Airframe Kit being purchased and the optional selection of the
Pre-Assembled Main Wing Spar upgrade, which eliminates some part
requirements from the Machined Angle Component Kit.
The standard Sonex Aircraft Complete Airframe Kit includes the
Sonex Aircraft Aluminum Angle Bundle of extruded 6061-T6 aluminum
angle stock for parts fabrication using a small wood-cutting band
saw, drill and basic hand tools.
“No other aircraft manufacturer in the world delivers as
much in a complete aircraft package for as little money as the
Sonex, Waiex, and Xenos do,” said Monnett, “And for
those looking to trade additional money for time, Sonex now offers
opportunities for significant build time savings via the optional
Pre-Assembled Main Wing Spar and Machined Angle Component kit
upgrades.”
