A Forum for Sonex Aircraft Builders and Enthusiasts

You're invited to attend the Alternative Engine Round-up and Experimental Aircraft Fly-in on September 26, at the French valley airport in Temecula CA.
Of special interest is the debut of Revmaster's newest offering, an honest 100 hp 2300cc, direct-drive, turbocharged VW conversion.
Remaster has been offering a turbo version of their 2100cc engine for decades, but pressure from the customer base forced them to adapt a new technology turbo to their 85 hp R2300 engine, and they did it by adding only 4 pounds to the total dry weight, while picking up an additional 15 hp.
What makes this possible is their new, proprietary, 049 heads, proven to be capable of shedding the heat from over 200 hp.

The test engine will be on display at our event next Saturday (Sep 26) and the principals of the company (Joe Horvath and Ralph Maloof) will be on hand to answer questions and will be presenting an educational forum on the engine.
Also look forward to "show special" pricing available only at the event.
Here's the link to our event for more info:

We hope to see you there!!!

Wonder why the difference?
