Experienced pilot Redge Greenberg became one of the few people globally to build his own jet, successfully completing and flying the first customer-assembled SubSonex (JSX0003) from an ultra-quick-build kit.
Greenberg, with over 4,500 flight hours, pursued building the $135,000 SubSonex kit to fulfill his desire to fly a jet, appreciating its aerobatic design and integrated ballistic parachute for safety.
His aircraft is now the third SubSonex jet flying worldwide, built from a kit that simplifies construction by not requiring compliance with the FAA's 51 percent rule for homebuilts.
Redge Greenberg, a pilot from Durango, Colorado, is one of the few people in the world ever to have built his own jet in his garage after completing the first customer-assembled SubSonex, serial number JSX0003.
“I flew the SubSonex this morning, for about 35 minutes…all went well,” Redge wrote to inform kit manufacturer Sonex Aircraft in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, on October 15.
