Sonex Floats!

Floating A New Idea!

Sonex has unveiled its new retractable gear system and since we're a few days past our April Fool's issue, I can assure you (this time, anyway...) that we're not fooling!

Sonex has been spending their "Spare Time" fitting a set of Czeck Aero Works Amphibious floats to the original Prototype Sonex (N12SX) with the 3300 Jabiru. Flight testing is set to commence later this Spring, sometime after they return from Lakeland. They're expecting "exceptional performance" from this combination. For those "fishing" for more news, this option will add approximately $10,000 to the overall cost of a Sonex.

If the tests prove successful, there will be an installation package offered through Sonex, Ltd. This "go anywhere" option may open up a whole new Sonex mission for the Sport Pilot.
