Sonex - Rotax

[TJay]

Hey guys just found this forum so I thought I would try it out. So I am building a Sonex here and I have a Rotax 912uls sitting here and a VW sitting here, cant decide which one to start fitting. I have heard there is some Sonex aircrafts over seas that have the Rotax Was wondering if any of you have any experience with them. Let me know what you think Thanks.

Hi TJay,

 

There are a few Rotax powered examples in Europe that I know of, have a search for youtube videos floating about of Spanish, Norwegian Rotax-turbo and an Israeli doing aeros. I know of one Aussie builder who was going down that path a few years ago but I don't think he ever finished his project. Most of us here opt for Jabiru, Aerovee and other VW based variants.

 

Regards
