Sonerai1 and Sport Pilot

[JCupp]

Hi,

I sold my Sonerai2 project awhile back but have always wanted a Sonerai1 as I used to have a cassutt and now fly sport Pilot. I just noticed in the new Kitplanes that the Sonerai2 is listed as Sport Pilot and the One isn't. Is that a typo or real?

Also is the folding wing really doable for one person?

thanks

Welcome to the forum.

I flew my SI under sport pilot rules when it truly had a Vh of 138 mph. Keep it light and propped for climb (I was flying a 52x44, 1850 for power) and it should fit.

Hi Jeff, Thanks,,,

How about the folding wing? Is it a big deal?

Thanks,

Jack

Can't say, I don't have it. I would suppose that if it were done correctly it should be doable by one person. I just need help getting the wings started, I can take it from there. I can't say that I wish that I had installed the mechanisms to do it as I rarely take the wings off. I will do it next week, but it's the first time in 4 years that I have had to do it. it all depends on what your mission is for your plane is.
