In conjunction with EAA sport av mag, Sonex has gotten to the point with their mini jet plane that they are starting to take position deposits.
Why is this different than other companies that have done similar? Well, the sub-Sonex is a real plane, with real flight times, coupled with a company and CEO that has a long history of delivering product.
Since my first ride in a Sonerii back in the late 80s I've been a fan of Monnett designs. Good article in EAA sport av too. Looks like it could be another winner. My only minor complaint is I was expecting a bit more cruise speed, but it's limited to 18k' at this time. Maybe if they could get up into the levels it would go a bit faster. However, it's a constant chord wing, with pretty simple assembly in keeping with Monnett themes.
