Re: a new project

Hi Divan, Welcome to the world of home building. Your best bet for advice, would be to join an EAA group in your area. Otherwise, there is always good advice from the good folks on this forum. Something that I found invaluable, was the series of books by Tony Bingelis. Everything you need to know ca...

Re: Sonerai One - Serial Number 012412-1179

You know those mornings when you're standing in the shower, and something just comes to you ..... (Try not to imagine this too hard ... please!)

There's also been plenty of time to work on my Sonerai. Yesterday marked the end of an era. The days of walking on o...

Re: Sonerai One - Serial Number 012412-1179

Hi guys, It’s been a while since this was last updated. So much has happened.... but sadly little on my beloved Sonerai. I won't bore you with the details.... and I really have run out of Kleenex.... but I have managed to contract AIDS. Yip! That’s right ...the dreaded Aviation Induced Divorce Syndr...
