--> Sonerai-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
First let me apologize for the discontinuity of List service over the last
two days. There is a faulty transmit pair between here and the "B-Box" and
I have been having a heck of a time trying to get the phone company
motivated to fix it. I am now trying to get them to take one of the analog
phone circuits to temporary get the T1 line circuit up. They are
indicating that to repair the existing T1 circuit they must dig up a
cross-connect in the street which will require a Permit from the City! Who
knows how long that will take to complete.
For now, connectivity is intermittent, but working. Email should flow
fine, although web server access may be a little sporadic. I'm working as
hard as I can at getting the situation resolved, but with the holiday and
all, its just been a nightmare.
I will post more information as it becomes available... Again, my
apologies; I thought upgrading to a commercial-grade T1 would elevate my
connectivity issues once and for all...
Wish me luck!

I hope this e-mail is reaching someone, I don't recall seeing any traffic since
I joined.
I have a Sonerai 1 in our shop at this time, it was built and flown for 56 hours
according to the log books
and 88 hours by the Hobbs. The last log entry was 1996, I was told a few days ago
that the guy that built
it on his last flight had to crash land it to get it back on the ground, he worked
on it for a while after that but
never got the nerve to fly it again. While I find this quite odd anything is possible
I guess, but we all know
how stories can get, especially over the course of several years.
It was bought by a fellow from Illinois and this is how it found it's way into
our shop. During my inspections
I have found a ton of stuff that ranges from "you got to be kidding" to just down
right stupid and dangerous.
One thing that causes me great concern is the lack of any type of carb heat system.
In a conversation with
the new owner I was informed that this is "NORMAL" for these aircraft. I've been
a pilot and mechanic for 30
years now and I have a very hard time with this information. What is the general
consciences of the owners
here on the list? Personally I have already started building a carb heat box for
the plane and will not sign off
the annual unless it is installed.
Thank you for your time and information on this matter.
