I love the rendering for the two place jet :) Imagine what a four place would look like

"Wait, no, had the list upside down" Comedy gold, Jerry!

1:30 man, sonex love their parallel lines. Also, gotta love a video that’s 50% digression into naming conventions 😁

Sonex is just following the standard GA plane convention of making the type and models as confusing as humanly possible 😅

Hey Thanks 👍

Add me to the list of people respectfully wishing for a cost-to-own of the Van's RV-12is. Though I've enjoyed all your reviews and cost-to-own videos so far.

Congrats on the dynon sponsorship!

It's a box that flies and I like it.

Two place jet would go CRAZY, show up those bd4 guys

The two-place jet looks like the R-201 Asterozoa from Ace Combat 3

I love videos about aircraft, where the word "probably" is thrown around a lot.😀

I'm skeptical about the speculative models. Where's the varieze!? Keep up the good work!

If I fit in this, it will be my first plane. Sonex told me to expect another update by the end of the year since they haven’t had one since April.

How tall are you? I spoke to sonex to make this video. The only undisclosed update they had for me was the door bottom will be 1 inch higher than previously thought. They may be holding back something more juicy

@@CompleteWalkaround 6’6-6’7. From the April update it sounded like the high wing will have more headroom for us taller folk and have a wider cabin than the model B. I have high hopes it can be a true 2 seater if I only carry 20 gallons of fuel and very light baggage.

If I fit in this, it might also be my first plane. Side by side seats? No, center seat! Fat guy in a little plane, hah.

It looks like a full size electric RC trainer lol

You could quote the engine power. From whatever engine you use to quote perf figures and costs

Yeah, 138 knots at what I assume was 4.5GPH or so sounds highly questionable, those cheaper engines aren't known for being fuel efficient.

The Highex would be a great name

People are bashing its looks but I think it looks really good! Way better looking than the Murphy Rebel copy, the RV15. I know this isn’t meant to compete with Vans new highwing, and that’s a good thing. I think these will fly off the shelf

You should do an rv12 cost to own

this will be a fun Texas Hill Country plane

2:54 i think the flaming pterodactyl is a great name.... too bad people dont name planes like they do boats..... then again, maybe that's a good thing. How many boats have you seen named "Liberty" or "Fantasea". What cheesy plane names would match these?

Why build a new plane that is a tail dragger its old design 🤷‍♂️🙆‍♂️😳

@CompleteWalkaround

Because tailwheels are lighter and faster and more fun to fly then their tricycle gear counterparts. They are better suited for unimproved runways and in the case of kit planes, cost less to buy. And of course, you'd be lying to yourself if you thought they're not cooler.
