Sonex is back at Sun 'n Fun this year, and they brought along their latest project, the B-Model kit for Sonex and Waiex designs. The B-Models offer a larger cabin space, created by straightening the forward sides of the fuselage and moving the seats back. A center Y-stick offers dual controls while making it easier to get in and out of the cockpit. Dual throttles are standard in the new models. Company president John Monnett also announced a reduced price for the SubSonex personal jet, with a quick-build kit starting at $42,000. "Interest is strong, especially among our current builders, looking for their next project," said Monnett. He added that the company is glad to be back at Sun 'n Fun for the second year in a row, after skipping it for about nine years.
