I am very jealous - I have been looking for a Sonerai for a while now. Awesome little planes.

Will be interesting to see if the Discoverer fits. There is very little space for a rear panel - and since that is where the pilot sits, there are also some interesting arrangements to try and make everything accessible from there. As a side line, I have been working on an application to use a tablet as a second display for MGL EFIS systems - which might also work, but you would not be able to control the panel from the tablet - only view it.

Would be interesting to hear which one this is.
Not too many came alive in SA.
Ralph Burnham used to have one down at Utenhage, ZS WSW used to belong to me (15 years ago) before Neil rebuild it and sold it to someone in Bethlehem
Then there were a couple of Sonerai I's but I never kept track of them

Thys sal ons op hoogte bring sodra hy van ROCK konsert af kom

Geluk AVGAS, Lekkerrrr

The Tribute to rock was awesome!! Maar nou is ek tydelik doof! Andries Botha by Down Town restaurant.

Andre het sy Sonerai se romp kom haal om dit TLC te gee voor hy dit gaan adverteer. Ek sal meer uitvind en dit post. ZS-U..

Thys as ek reg ondou was daai hanger waar jy nou is 17 jaar terug toe ek op wonderboom gekom het n nes van daai Sonerai's, en KR's en klein snaakse vliegtuigies. Ek wonder baie wat van al die ou LS1 vliegmasiene geword het.

Ag ek kry ook deesdae so min tyd vir my vliegtuig,skoolwerk hou my bietjie besig . Oom Richard kan i draai maak net wanneer dit oom gaan pas. maar ek dink dalk ons moet maar eerder kyk in i vakansie sodat daai darm iets aan gaan op die vliegtuig as oom kom draai maak..stermte met die projek.
Groete

Hoe lyk dit Richard, wil jy nie nog een koop nie? Dan kan julle 'n swerm besit.

Thanks Thys ek sal hom kontak.

Hopefully jnr will be able to give the frame some white paint this weekend. That is if the wind is calm as the open air spraybooth does not like wind.

Let us know if the "tip" worked
Jean.

Thanks Jean for the lekka tip
Now lets see if we can use less paint to cover more
Will go and buy the paint tomorrow

AND....and.....?????? Tell us all about it
J

Yes thanks it worked
used a lot less paint. It was too windy to do the final coat but we managed to cover all the areas that we missed with the first primer coat.

Dankie Jean
