Price vs Performance: The Best Performance Per Dollar

Affordable
Look at how the total cost(1) for a Sonex compares to other popular kit aircraft with similar power and/or performance... and we didn't exaggerate prices. We didn't need to! Notice that our current pricing is compared to figures gathered in 2005 from our competitors. No other aircraft delivers as much Performance Per Dollar!
Versatile
Cross country economy with around-the patch fun. Able to handle both low and slow and blistering speed. Aerobatic (+6 / -3G). Rough field ready. Conventional or tricycle gear. Center or dual stick. Removable wings.
Performance
The airspeeds speak for themselves: "The Sonex is notable in providing a 4:1 speed range, the Holy Grail of exemplary aircraft design."

-Dan Johnson, EAA Experimenter Magazine, February 2000
