Sonerai 1, (a rather
old design) the more recent design by the Monett family is the
Sonex, which is more familiar to most people today..... the recommended
engine is a volkswagen engine (76 hp) (direct drive to a wooden
prop).... mine will be a low wing version rather than the mid
wing used by racers, so that I can get in the plane on top of
the spar rather than try to work my legs underneath the mid wing.....
the wings are all aluminum, the fuselage is steel tubing wrapped
in fabric, gear will be aluminum 5/8 thick down to wheels probably
from Grove industries
I will have it painted
white with white stripes

My sonerai will have
the wing in the low, not mid
wing position shown in photograph.
