Thanks Bryan. I was unaware.

The next thing you'll probably tell me is they no longer supply an engine and instruments with the kits.

Are you looking to use belts/harnesses other than what's supplied in the kit?
At least I assume the "B" kits come with restraints.


I'm not sure if they ate included or not. They are not specifically listed on the kit list, nor are they specifically excluded on the " not included " list.

Bob, if you follow that link I put a page back, it will tell you that Sonex has been out of the seatbelt business since 2016.

Crow Safety sells Custom Seat belts for the Sonex. Regular automotive buckle. If you are not aerobatic, they look good to me. I got the shoulder pads too.

https://crowsafetygear.com

They do sell the Kam Lock for the RV line, so maybe they can custom build something for our aerobatic pilots.

I have a set (pair) of Simpson 5 point belts specifically built for a Sonex that are still in the box. Originally paid $670 back in 2018 I won’t be using. Will sell for $350 shipped.

Bob, if you can walk to Sonex, Wayne's is only a little further.
