All orders require your full name, billing and shipping address, telephone number, email address, and payment information, even if it is already on file with us. When placing telephone orders, you will be asked to confirm that information verbally.

Lead Times:
Sonex Aircraft, LLC continues to use just-in-time manufacturing from a wide range of suppliers to keep costs down and quality up. If particular items have an unanticipated strong demand, occasionally they will be out of stock for an extended period. Many component assemblies (AeroCarbs, Trim Assemblies, etc) are built-to-order, therefore, if one component part is missing the entire assembly must be back-ordered. The best way to avoid delays in your project is to order items well in advance of when they will be required. Current lead times for specific items can be obtained from Sonex staff by phone, fax, or e-mail.

Order Procedures:
For more specific order procedures and requirements for Airframe Kit and Sonex Plans orders, please see the Kit Ordering page. For more specific information about ordering Engines, please see our Engine Ordering page.

All sales are subject to Sonex Aircraft, LLC Terms and Conditions.

Sales in the United Kingdom

International sales are made directly through Sonex Aircraft, LLC except in the United Kingdom, where a dealership has been established.

Popular Flying Association (PFA) approval of a sport aircraft design is prerequisite to UK Civil Aviation Authority aircraft registration. Silver Fern Microlights has made a significant investment toward securing PFA approval of Sonex designs which will allow other UK pilots to build and fly this popular homebuilt aircraft, and has thus earned delership status from Sonex Aircraft, LLC.

All orders from UK customers may be directed to Silver Fern Microlights. Sales and Informational inquiries, as well as Technical Support inquiries may still be made directly to Sonex Aircraft, LLC.
