Two Quick Build Kit versions are offered; an
EAB-compliant kit for the traditional builder
including pre-built wings, fuselage and canopy
and an Experimental Exhibition category Ultra-
Quick Build Kit with no “51 percent rule”
restrictions.
The Ultra-Quick Build customer will install the
easily-removable outboard wing panels, engine
and fuel system, bolt-in the retractable landing
gear, install avionics, electrical systems and
controls, install the supplied BRS, fiberglass
components and upholstery, and add paint. "I
hold commercial glider, helicopter & single
engine land licenses, accumulating 4500+ hours
in numerous aircraft, but I never got the chance
to fly a jet" said Greenberg.
"I first saw the prototype of the SubSonex at Oshkosh, and followed the
development for over a year. When Sonex offered
the jet as a kit, I was first in line. Like my
RV8, the SubSonex is aerobatic, but the Sonex
company also included a ballistic parachute for
extra safety."
