Hello Maj, thanks for taking the time to reply ....I like the idea that you can actually pack the wings with clear wrap and especially having built the crate to enable standing on its side.....what a good idea.....craig

I am currently negotiating with a man in America to purchase a set of completed aluminium wing for my Sonerai project.. Have all logistical aspects pretty well covered but need help from people with knowledge in packaging for safe journey...Any help appreciated

Hi Mike, currently back in Tas for easter ,but will be back in Young from 14th....and would like to catch up with you if we can organize...0400065825 cheers craig

Hi Craig,Sorry - I have only just found this reply although I have been on the site a few times since Feb. Are you still in Young? I am in Orange - a short flight away or drive - I could fly there & give you a look at the plane or you are most welcome to come visit - that is if you are still in Young! I think you probably replied when I was having trouble with my computer so the thread reply has gone missing!!

Hi Craig,Just found these posts - I have recently purchased a Sonerai 2L with a jab 2200 motor in it. Sue's comments are valid - I called mine an evil plane - but am mastering it and really starting to like it! They are slippery and sensitive - I came from a Jab 160 & 230 - thought they were sensitive but they have nothing on the Sonerai! Hows the build going? Are you finished yet? I ride bikes to - Ducati 916 & a Suzuki GSX 1100 and an Italjet scooter!

Could come & visit sometime! Mike S.

Yeah the build is coming along nicely, fuselage all but finished welding, few minor tabs here and there and could think about painting soon. Will send order for all wing material next week or two($US is really favourable ) Things are on hold for moment as I am working in Young for the next few months .Would like to take the oppurtunity to come and take a good look over your machine some time if we could work something out .

cheers craig
