    Subject: new Sonerai II owner
    --> Sonerai-List message posted by: "Brian Kraut" <brian.kraut@engalt.com> I just bought a flying Sonerai II. It has been on a trailer for about 5 months, but should be back to flying very soon. I am in Jacksonville, FL. Any others near here? This one does not have the wing strenghtening mod done yet. I have the plans supplement, but they don't do a great job showing what needs to be done. Anyone happen to have a web site doccumenting it with pictures? Any estimate on how long it takes to do? Are there a lot just flying without the mod? How feasible is it to convert the mid wing to a low wing? I currently have a flying Midget Mustang and I have put 102 hours on it since the first flight about four months ago. I also had a KR-2 and put 45 hours on it. Anyone with Sonerai experience that has flown a KR or Midget Mustang that can give me a comparison? Sorry for all the same newbie questions that have probably been answered a dozen times. Brian Kraut Engineering Alternatives, Inc. www.engalt.com

    --> Sonerai-List message posted by: Chuck <chuck515tigger@yahoo.com> Brian, This list is pretty quiet, so I'll give you my thoughts on the Sonerai. It flys very easily, is straightforward, responsive, with light but predictable controls. I love flyin' them but switched to the RV's because of the lack of power/performance. The Midget Mustangs are squirrely in my opinion, but have good performance. You'll likely missed that performance when flyin' your Sonerai. Changing from a mid-wing to a low wing ain't easy. You'll have to do some MAJOR welding and then find an FAA inspector to examine and sign-off your "new Experimental" aircraft. Have fun flyin' I think you'll like the way she'll roll & loop, but watch the G loading until after you do the wing mods.
