Sonex Aircraft, LLC Accepting Deposits for Onex Single-Place, Folding-Wing, Aerobatic Sport Aircraft

Sonex Aircraft, LLC is pleased to announce that refundable deposits are now
being accepted to reserve kit production slots for the Onex single-place,
folding-wing, aerobatic sport aircraft. Onex Airframe Kit deliveries are
expected to begin by mid-year, 2011, with Tail Kit deliveries beginning much
sooner. The Onex has been a highly anticipated Sport Pilot-eligible airplane
kit, as evidenced by Onex mailing list membership growing to over 1,300
subscribers. Many prospective Onex builders have submitted requests to make
a deposit and reserve their place in-line for Onex kits, and the opportunity
to make those reservations has now arrived. On Tuesday, March 15, Onex
mailing list subscribers were given advance notification of the availability
of Onex Kit production slot reservations via a $500 deposit. The date and
time of Onex deposit payment will be used to sequence customer orders.
Customers can view full details, terms & conditions, and make their Onex Kit
Reservation Deposits at http://www.SonexAircraft.com/onex

³Sonex Aircraft is excited to be taking deposits on this outstanding new
aircraft,² said Sonex Aircraft CEO and General Manager Jeremy Monnett. ³Many
hundreds of hours have been invested in the design, engineering, testing and
flying of the Onex. We feel the Onex has the potential to cut the already
low operating costs of the Sonex, Waiex, and Xenos even further. It
represents what we consider to be the lowest operational cost of any sport
pilot aircraft.²

Estimated kit pricing is now available for the Onex, with a Complete
Airframe Kit base price of USD $12,995. Onex kits will be offered in
Complete Airframe Kits & Sub-Kits, and popular upgrades such as
Pre-Assembled Main Wing Spars and Machined Angle Component Kits will be
offered to reduce building time. Additionally, the Onex design has a smaller
parts count than other Sonex Aircraft designs, while using more CNC machined
parts to be included as standard items in the basic, non-upgraded, kit to
further reduce build time. Estimated Sub-Kit pricing and kit upgrade pricing
is published in further detail on the Sonex Aircraft web site.

³When comparing the pricing of the Onex to the Sonex, remember that the Onex
has some new design features that make it easier for the builder, but they
come with slightly higher costs,² continued Monnett. ³We continue to sharpen
our pencil on pricing and recognize that every dollar we can shave off the
price represents a larger potential market! We’re excited to be delivering
this aircraft to a world market where kit aircraft builders are increasingly
aware of the incredible amount of fun you can have with an aircraft that
costs a fraction of a new factory-built LSA.²

The Onex flight test schedule continues to make rapid progress, and the
Hornets’ Nest Research and Development team at Sonex Aircraft, LLC is
extremely pleased with the aircraft’s performance in every aspect. ³The
preliminary flight test evaluation has been extremely positive,² remarks
Monnett. ³A new flight video is available for download showing this
activity. We’re having a lot of fun putting time on this little fighter!²
