Hi everyone, with the news of sonex closing it doors, I have some questions. If you need parts that you can’t manufacture yourself like a gas tank or canopy, wher would you get them? Will sonex support their customer and refer them to where thy can obtain the parts? will this website be operating after they are gone?I tried to contact them but no one would answer the phone
The community here is working on parts sources for various items. You can check out the Part Sources - SonexPilots.org topic area for some specifics, and/or use the “search” function at the top-right corner of the forums!
All is not lost;
My Sonex Legacy has a home built 40L metal (main) tank & if you want range + 2 X 30L wing tanks.
If in Australia/New Zealand, you can get your canopy from - Ian Linke <[sailplanecanopies@gmail.com] ![]()
While I’m not giving up hope that Sonex will return in some form after the dust from the announcement settles, this forum is not directly affiliated or sponsored by Sonex (although they have been a great help) and is funded through community donations. We’re not going anywhere.
This would probably be a good time to remind everyone that there is a “Donate” button on the left panel of this page. We’re still about $500 short of covering Evan’s out of pocket expenses.

You posted this comment about 12 hours before the press release that Sonex is back. You called it! Got any tips for lottery numbers? LOL
I just spent all the luck and wisdom I have on that statement; the lottery numbers are guaranteed to be wrong haha.
