AeroCarb



AeroCarb Mount Adapters

$395.00

Simplicity in form and function! Utilizing what hydraulic and pneumatic engineers call the "perfect flow passage" the AeroCarb achieves outstanding performance versatility! AeroCarb's body parts are precision machined from solid 6061 aluminum billets and premium Delrin.

There are only two moving parts... no float bowls or secondary jets to complicate things! A fine adjustment metering needle provides clean burning, smooth running, outstanding response, and fuel economy! Spigot or flange mounts easily adapt to popular aircraft and auto conversion engines. Mounts for the standard "push-pull" cable assemblies are built in! AeroCarb's intake design accepts air filters or carb heat ducts.

The AeroCarb is included as standard with all AeroVee engines, and is highly recommended to replace the Bing carb that ships with Jabiru engines.

To read about AeroCarb performance and fuel economy with the Jabiru 3300 engine, read "The $35 Hamburger" by Sonex's own Kerry Fores, or check-out our AeroCarb FAQ's.

AeroCarbs have been successfully installed in everything from Continentals and Lycomings to Chevy's and Suzuki's!

Throttle Quadrant

Throttle Quadrant ST

 

Throttle
Quadrant

$75.00

Throttle
Quadrant ST

$85.00

The AeroConversions Throttle Quadrant, designed to work with the AeroConversions AeroCarb and other carburetors, is an attractive, simple and easy to install throttle quadrant giving the sport pilot positive and precise throttle control at a competitive price.

Designed for use in a center-cockpit control column, The Throttle Quadrant ST features a placarded backing plate, angled control arm for instrument panel clearance, and dual control grips for authoritative control from both sides of the cockpit. While the standard AeroConversions Throttle Quadrant is intended for mounting on the cockpit wall, the Throttle Quadrant ST is perfectly suited for use in a Sonex or Waiex Sport Trainer configuration.

The AeroConversions Throttle Quadrant works with the newest AeroCarbs fitted with optional pull control (older AeroCarbs may be upgraded for pull control), or with any other carburetor equipped for reversing pull-throttle actuation. Customers may optionally attach external linkage to a hole provided in the upper throttle arm to convert the AeroConversions Throttle Quadrant to a non-reversing control.

The Throttle Quadrant features an adjustable friction knob and an optional push-pull mixture control bracket, integrated pull cable-end fitting, and an open-backed design for easy installation and mounting. Maximum throttle arm throw for both reversing and non-reversing attach points is 39mm.

The Aeroconversions Throttle Quadrant includes the optional mixture control bracket, a 72-inch throttle cable assembly and cable adjusters along with installation instructions which are written with enough general information to accommodate installation in a wide range of aircraft. This assembly package does not include a push-pull mixture cable.

For more information, view the Throttle Quadrant FAQ page.

Trim System


$95.00

ACV-T01 (Pitch Trim Wheel assembly, installation hardware, and installation manual)

The AeroConversions Trim System is a "tension" trim system that balnces the elevator controls with spring loading. When you turn the Knob on the Trim unit, you are applying small forward or aft pressure on the stick (Nose Up or Nose Down), essentially applying small elevator pressures.

The AeroConversions Trim System works exceptionally well for trimming hands off at slow speed compared to using a trim tab system. The Aeroconversions Trim System includes all the items needed for a typical installation along with an instruction manual which is written with enough general information to accommodate installation in a wide range of aircraft.

For more information, view the Trim System FAQ page.


Machined Brake Drums


$200.00

(ACV-W01-10) Works with Azusa 2272A Brake Assemblies.

Upgrade your standard Azusa brakes with these AeroConversions Machined Brake Drums. These drums run true for greater stopping and holding power, and include cooling fins for consistent braking power during periods of extended braking. Black oxide finish. Bolt-on upgrade. As a set, these drums weigh 14.8 oz. more than the standard Azusa 2211 brake drums.


Jabiru Shock Mounts


$50.00

(ACV-J01-10) Higher durometer shock mounts help prevent engine sagging over time verses the standard soft Jabiru shock mounts.

For 2200 and 3300 Jabiru Engines. Ships as a set of 8.


AeroVee Fence Baffle Kit

$100.00

New Fence Baffle system for the AeroVee engine greatly improves cooling in Sonex Aircraft installations over previous "box baffle" designs. Laser-cut baffle kit includes rubber baffle seal material, pulled rivets and full installation instructions.


Jabiru Universal Cooling Baffle Kit & FWF Installation Manual

$250.00

Sonex laser-cut and formed cooling baffles are included with all Jabiru Engines purchased from Sonex Aircraft, LLC. These cooling baffles are provided for simple FWF installation and for optimized cooling with your Sonex, Waiex, or Xenos.

Jabiru Universal Cooling Baffle Kit package compatible for use on both Jabiru 2200 and 3300 engines.

This baffle design has proven popular for a wide variety of other Jabiru Engine installations in other aircraft. These are available for separate purchase by anyone for $250 and include the very detailed Sonex/Jabiru FWF Installation Manual.

The design of this baffle kit has been revised for even better cooling!


AeroConversions K-Type CHT Probes

All Sonex Stratomaster Instrument Packages now include AeroConversions CHT Probes as standard. Note: Grand Rapids EIS instruments require J-Type CHT senders, which are not available from AeroConversions.

$30.00 (set of 2)

Tired of ruining your old CHT probes every time you touch your spark plugs? Introducing AeroConversions K-Type CHT Probes for Jabiru, AeroVee and other VW-based Engines!

Unlike traditional CHT probes which are installed under spark plugs, our new AeroConversions CHT probes are made to be attached to cylinder heads independently. For AeroVee, or any other VW head engines, the AeroConversions CHT Probe is screwed into the cylinder head with a small self-tapping screw. For Jabiru Engines, the probes are installed under cylinder head bolts.

AeroConversions K-Type CHT Probes are sold in sets of 2 probes for $30, for use on any CHT instrument compatible with K-Type senders.

Recommended 3rd Party Products

The following products are not sold by Sonex Aircraft, but are highly recommended by Sonex staff for use in Sonex, Waiex and Xenos airframes.


EAA's Amateur-Built Aircraft Certification Kit
EAA now offers an Amateur-Built Aircraft Certification Kit, which is available for purchase online. The kit includes everything you need to register and certificate a new experimental amateur-built aircraft. The 15-page, step-by-step Certification Guide walks you through the entire process-from getting an N number to the aircraft inspection-and provides samples of how to complete each required form. The certification kit also includes all FAA forms, Experimental sticker (in black), dataplate, and a convenient placard decal sheet.

Pitot-Static Probe
Aircraft Spruce Pitot-Static Probe
While a complete pitot-static probe is detailed in the plans and can be built by the truly dedicated builder, Aircraft Spruce & Specialty offers a ready made probe which serves the needs of the Sonex Aircraft builder well. Their "L"-shaped probe, part number 15144, can be mounted on a small inspection plate and installed in the wing in the same location shown for the "plans-built' probe.

AeroFlash Lighting System


The AeroFlash unit pictured above features integrated strobes, left (or right) wing position light, and rear position light, simplifying installation and providing an ideal solution for position lighting the Waiex or Xenos.

Strobe Lights and Position Lights
AeroFlash offers the most economical lighting systems for experimental aircraft. They are available in a number of configurations including wing tip strobes only, wingtip position lights only, wingtip strobes with integral red/green position lights (requires a tail-mounted tail position light) and wingtip strobes with integral red/green position lights AND white tail position light. The latter system is by far the easiest to install, as it requires no wiring to the tail. Other options include single- and double-flash power sources for the strobe lights. AeroFlash products are available through Wicks Aircraft Supply and Aircraft Spruce & Specialty, or visit www.aeroflash.com
