I recalled the line long ago attributed to Henry Ford, "You can have any color [Model T] you want as long as it's black." Sonex Aircraft had so regularly brought bright yellow airplanes to airshows, folks could be excused for thinking that was the only color available. Of course, since the company sells kit aircraft, you can have whatever color you wallet can handle.
Why wouldn't you want a red one? The color works for Ferrari.
Indeed, the newest model from Sonex is not about the color at all. "We just wanted to separate the new B models from the earlier models," said General Manager, Mark Schaible. Changing up their airshow model paint job may stimulate people to look more closely... exactly the idea.
Sonex Aircraft unveiled a new B-Model design for the Sonex and Waiex models earlier this year at Sun 'n Fun 2016. Specifically, the Oshkosh, Wisconsin-based kit manufacturer unveiled a tailwheel, AeroVee Turbo-powered version of their Waiex-B.
Why a big debut for B-models?
Sonex designer and founder John Monnett explained, "It's what [customers] have been asking for! More of everything you want in a sport aircraft: More room and comfort, more panel space, more fuel, more engine choices, and more standard features combined with reduced build time and the same great Sonex and Waiex flight characteristics."
Getting More Specific...
• Sonex and Waiex B-Models have been enlarged by straightening the forward fuselage sides, changes that improved creature comfort,
• B-models enlarged the interior by offering more width and comfort at the shoulders, hips, knees, and feet,
• B-model seat backs have been moved aft, a seating geometry change that accommodates taller individuals,
• Staggered seating is available via upholstery seat back cushions. A center "Y-stick" offers dual controls with easier cockpit entry and roomier seating,
• Electric flaps reduce cockpit clutter and dual throttles are standard.
B-Models will completely replace the original model Sonex and Waiex in the Sonex Aircraft product lineup.

I'm totally in-love with the Sonex as well as the Xonex.

Good video, enjoyed all the good information. The sound quality, or background noise made it very difficult to understand the dialog clearly.
