Sonerai II rebuild by Junior

[justin.schoeman]

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

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.

[Jean Crous]

Let us know if the "tip" worked
Jean.

[avgas]

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

[Jean Crous]

J

[avgas]

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
