Sonerai IILS building plans

[airforcemike53]

Recently purchased an IILS and looking for some building plans. Not sure if any members have some they'd like to share or is my only option to purchase them for $145.00. Also, do the building plans include the weight and balance info? Datum line and such... With that said, needing the bolts which attach the wings as the acft I purchased is being transported with the wings off and massing the hardware. I imagine there a slew of other parts I'll need and when the acft arrives in two days, I can start the unknown.

I have a set of plans that might be what your looking for. Are you planning on going to SnF since your nearby? I'll be there all week.

I will be either out flying or on standby which is a 3 hour call out. Sadly I don't think I can go this year. When do you get in? My duty starts this Sunday.

As for weight and balance it could not be easier. Level airplane. Datum is wing leading edge. Flight cg between 8 an 16 inches, which is 15-30% MAC.

I'll probably arrive Sunday late afternoon.

Correction. I have a IILT.

I wouldn't put much trust in the new plans...

I've been hearing a lot of that lately... Sadly.

What wouldn't you trust? New plans are simply photocopies of the old plans.

My mistake! I just read your post about the 1/2" holes in the carry through. So sorry! I can scan my old plans and send them to you.... it is not as though you didn't pay the designer already

In the plans, does it mention specifics about the canopy? The sonerai I recently purchased will need a make over of the canopy. I'm not sure it could handle much wind.

Looks like my canopy that has 300 hours on it.

Can't seem to edit so let me add- that canopy frame looks like mine, but what looks like a strap across is different, and there is no wood in my canopy, all metal. I will post pics later today.
