The SubSonex Personal Jet has been featured in Kitplanes Magazine every month since the November 2019 issue, documenting the build of SubSonex serial number JSX0021 by Kitplanes Editor at Large Paul Dye. The "Turbine Temptation" series wraps-up with the May 2020 issue, and the final article is now available for Kitplanes subscribers to read online!
Incredibly, this series of articles spread-out over 7 months of Kitplanes Magazine issues has taken more time to reach your mail box in its entirety than Paul’s SubSonex Personal Jet took to build! Paul reports finishing his kit in about 85 days and 425 hours (before paint).
The last two paragraphs of the first installment in Dye’s series includes some quotes that we just have to share:
“Once you have decided that you want the jet, it is hard to get it out of your mind — eventually, you’re going to succumb,” writes Dye. “…Don’t try to justify it—just do it!”
We couldn’t agree more!
