Re: Sonerai One - Serial Number 012412-1179

Hey Avgas, I wish my kids were a little older. I would love to build something with them.

Re: Sonerai One - Serial Number 012412-1179

The Main Spar Carry Through interrupted my progress with the fuselage, because I need to finish it first to determine the gap between two tubes on the fuselage. Now that it's done, complete with with a sexy coat of green zinc chromate, I could focus on the fuselage again. All of the tubes were previ...

Re: Sonerai One - Serial Number 012412-1179

Oh dear!!!!

I have just made six tube support legs to support the longerons while drilling.
