About the Aircraft
WAIEX (pronounced "Y-X") is simply a Y-tail Sonex. Built purely for it's good looks and as an homage to earlier John Monnett designs such as the Moni and Monex Racer, the Waiex specifications and performance numbers are identical to those of the Sonex and, like the Sonex, is perfectly suited to the US Sport Pilot/LSA regulations. The Waiex retains the same superb Sonex flight characteristics and high performance in all phases of flight, including aerobatics.
If you're looking for the ultimate high-performance recreational aircraft with maximum ramp-appeal, the Waiex is for you.
The Next Generation
B-Models have completely replaced the original Sonex, Waiex & Xenos in the Sonex Aircraft product lineup.
Original model Sonex, Waiex and Xenos Sub-Kits will still be available to those needing to complete their existing projects.
All original Sonex, Waiex and Xenos aircraft will continue to receive full support, including legacy parts availability, if registered with Sonex Aircraft. As demand for legacy parts decreases, lead times may increase.
Original Sonex plans will still be available for scratch building.
