Sonex Aircraft Interview w/ Mark Schaible, August 2021

[Matt541]

Most of you know that I recently filmed an interview with Mark Schaible of Sonex Aircraft and Sonex Aerospace (and much more as we learn in this segment.) We had a great conversation for over 2 hours covering a whole range of topics concerning Sonex builders and pilots, but also homebuilders in general.



I'll continue to post all of the segments here, as I know some of you are looking forward to them, and I expect more and more new eyes to be hitting the Sonex brand in the coming months/ years. (Experimental/ Light Sport in general too.)

I already pulled the High Wing segments out for separate videos, but here they are for posterity.

More on the high wing and it's potential for use as a bush/ backcountry aircraft:

Happy Labor Day Sonex Builders and pilots!

Here's Part # 2 where we discuss the Sonex design philosophy and the various engine options currently available and what may be.

Which are factory supported and which aren't?

What engine is best for you?



Time to grill some burgers and brats!

Up next, we discuss Oshkosh AirVenture 2021 and the 2022 One Week Wonder Waiex build.



Who's going to jump in on that hectic week?

And here we talk about the SubSonex and the soon to come JSX-2T 2 place jet:



So if you've been waiting for an update on the 2 place, here it is. More coming from Sonex Aircraft directly of course.

On this Saturday morning, we discuss buying a used Sonex aircraft. Is that $15k beauty on Barnstormers really a "GREAT DEAL?"

Topics include transition training, insurance and build quality. Could there be a "Certified Used" Sonex at some point?

Looking for a career change? (Like me.)



Sonex is hiring!

And wrapping up this series:



Just do it!

What do you think could be next from Sonex Aircraft?
