Open Source Aviation Engineering

Buy it from us, or build it yourself.

Novabox Works — Aviation Engineering

Born from a love of flying and the satisfaction of building something with your own hands. If you appreciate the craft, we’ll build something for you, too.

What We Make

Aftermarket aviation products for experimental and homebuilt aircraft. Every product is designed, tested, and shipped from our hangar.

Flight Controls

The ergoMAXX configurable flight stick grip — designed for experimental aircraft. Choose your buttons, trim hat switches, PTT, LEDs, shaft diameter, and powder coat. The only control stick grip that's actually built for your airplane.

Electronics

The V8 bi-directional PWM amplifier board — an optocoupler-isolated MOSFET H-bridge for driving trim motors via Garmin GSA 28 autopilot servos. Open-source schematic, PCB, gerbers, and BOM included.

Aftermarket Sensors

Drop-in aftermarket sensor alternatives for Garmin G3X, Dynon SkyView, MGL, and GRT. OAT probes (GTP 59 alternative), MAP sensors, fuel and oil pressure senders, hydraulic transducers, and capacitive fuel level sensors. Experimental aircraft only.

Designed and Built in the USA

Designed and Built in the USA

Designed, engineered, and handcrafted in the United States. From first sketch to final bolt—all under one roof. Except our electronics. We buy them from China. You know how it is.

Open Source. Seriously.

Open Source. Seriously.

Hundreds of hours of engineering, released for free. Download them, print them, cut them, remix them, or eat them. Ok? Now leave me alone and go do something productive.

The Design Is Very Human

The Design Is Very Human

We solve problems that have annoyed pilots for decades with solutions so obvious you’ll wonder why nobody did it sooner. Well, turns out even obvious solutions are hard to make real.

Designed through Suffering

Designed through Suffering

Every product starts with a real annoyance from a real problem. We prototype in hangars covered in sweat and grease, and we test everything ourselves before you ever see it.

Direct. No Dealers. No Drama.

Direct. No Dealers. No Drama.

From our shop to your hangar. Or well, from my hangar, to the post office, then to your house, then to your hangar. Whatever.

Built Different. Priced Fair.

We fly the same stuff we sell. See what's in the hangar.
