New SubSonex JSX-2 Pilots, February, 2015

In February 2015, John Monnett, Jeremy Monnett, Bob O'Haver and Billy Hill all became new SubSonex JSX-2 Pilots on the same day. All four pilots came-in with diverse flying backgrounds, yet all four flew JSX-2 with ease, and their flights were nearly identical… a testament to the outstanding flight characteristics of the SubSonex Personal Jet.

They all had perfect landings! My WW2 Lancaster bomber father told me in his late 90's he's a young boy trapped in an old man's body!

Are there any plans to stretch the air frame for a tandem two seat config? Is there a baggage compartment? It seems to me that this would make a practical commuter aircraft, 200-400 miles.

Why don’t the wheels go up exactly together?

[davemckenzie]

The guy in the red jacket has his shit together.

Does anyone know what the button between the engine tapes is(it triggers a red light)? They hit on take-off and turn it off again on climb out. Is it an N1 limiter or something like that?

[Glofilter]

Can a 6'2" guy fit in this thing? I sat in a BD-5 once and there was no way. I couldn't get the canopy closed.

I love the Sonex platform. I want one with a Jabiru 3300 engine and a speed prop. With a glass cockpit. Come on Santa. I have been good.

[Planeolbob]

That looks so much fun, Maybe I need to get my class 3 back??

[kristopher]

Nobody tapping their brakes before gear retraction?

[ricogerard]

We don't need no stinkin' propeller!

[junkerju]

is there any chance that in the near future this aircraft would be competing in the Red Bull air race? it would be nice to see it flying alongside edge 540 that seems to be the aircraft choice other than the Extra.

[jamesmcerlain]

How are the pilots trained? Is there a sim? or a 2 seater?

[azspotfree]

I wonder if you could mount guns on that thing?

[JeffreyinChina]

awesomeness - some day it will be mine oh yes it will be mine ....

[DAllan-lzlg]

Looks like a huge runway but floating halfway down it

[ModernMusicNo]

So cool Sonex are making jet ownership more affordable!

[Mike-]

100k for single seat kit plane jet seems that price is just out of reach for your typical sonex builder the folks who can afford it they just get an L39 something like that.

[shreddder]

This must be New Mexico. Why is it that everyone I've seen take off and land in the Subsonex is always right of centerline?

[mutlaalot]

I love the plane it so cute and I think it's so easy

[rodzack]

"Saw 260 on the approach" Funny, I thought the speed limit below 10k is 250...
