Item specifics
Condition: Used
BOUGHT THIS AIRCRAFT 3 YEARS AGO. HAD EVERY INTENTION OF FINISHING, BUT WORK JUST KEPT GETTING IN THE WAY. NOW I"M LOSING MY SHOP SPACE. BETTER TO LET IT GO THAN CONTINUE TO LET IT SIT. INCLUDES BUILT WINGS WIRED FOR POSITION LIGHTS. INCLUDES FITTED COWLING. THIS AIRCRAFT HAS FLOWN AND HAS AN "N" NUMBER AND AIR WORTHINESS CERTIFICATE. IT WAS PULLED FOR FABRIC REPLACEMENT AND PANEL MODS. INCLUDES LOG BOOK AND AIR WORTHINESS CERTIFICATE. IF OU ARE AN A&P YOU CAN "RE-BUILD" AND BYPASS THE NEW LICENSING PROCEDURE. BUT YOU COULD RE-LICENSE AIRCRAFT UNDER YOUR NAME AS OWNER BUILDER. THAT WAS MY INTENTION WHEN I BOUGHT THE PROJECT. I BOUGHT THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT ENGINE AND INSTRUMENTS. THE SELLER KEPT THE ENGINE AND INSTRUMENTS FOR ANOTHER PROJECT HE WAS BUILDING. GREAT PLAINS AIRCRAFT SUPPORT THE SONERAI WITH PLANS AND PARTS. PER GREAT PLAINS, THE SONERAI ALSO QUALIFIES INTHE LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT (LSA) CATEGORY. INCLUDED IS A 2180CC GREAT PLAINS AIRCRAFT ENGINE. CASES, CRANK, NEW JUGS, PISTONS, RINGS, GASKETS, ETC. A COMPLETE ENGINE, READY TO BE ASSEMBLED. EVEN HAVE THE GREAT PLAINS ASSEMBLY DVD. THERE ARE 2 AIRCRAFT IN SOME OF THE PHOTOS. THE MID-WING IS FOR SALE. THE OTHER AIRCRAFT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTOS IS A LOW WING SONERAI II THAT BELONGS TO MY BUDDY. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING PROFESSIONALLY RE-ASSEMBLED AT PLANEMAKERS IN SARASOTA, FL. WE WERE GOING TO BUILD THEM TOGETHER. HIS BUSINESS HAS DROPPED OFF QUITE A BIT. HE WAS GOING TO BRING IT BACK TO MY SHOP UNTIL HE GETS THE FUNDS TO COMPLETE, BUT IF I DO NOT SECURE ANOTHER SHOP SPACE SOON THE FUTURE OF THIS AIRCRAFT IS UNCLEAR. I WILL SEPARATE THE ENGINE AND AIRCRAFT. SONERAI II AIRCRAFT SPECS AND PERFORMANCE DATA:SPECIFICATIONS
