Still stinging with disappointment and surprise, builders and owners of Sonex kitplanes are regrouping and hoping that reports of potential saviors are true, following the company’s abrupt announcement on March 27 that it was ceasing operations, effective immediately.
Discussions on sites and forums including SonexPilots.org and the Experimental Aircraft Channel’s Facebook page indicate builders are adapting to the shutdown by seeking to source parts directly from vendors and advising each other on how they might complete unfinished projects without factory support.
