Hey Guys,
My name is Ben and I am from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am relatively new to the forum other then spending a tonne of time reading the forum and visiting with a couple of members (namely Gaston and Matt) who have been so helpful already!
I bought my Sonerai from a guy in Princeton, British Columbia who had brought it up a couple years back on the ack of a Mazda 1/4 tonne truck! You may have seen the pictures.
It started life as N317LA in North Dakota and was built from 1983-1984 and as far as I can see was last flown in April of 1989 after 155 hours of flying.
The gentleman who built it did quite a nice job but after nearly 25 years of not flying I decided to tear it apart and go through everything before putting my own butt in the seat.
As I have read this forum and as I have been tearing my plane down I have accumulated quite a few questions and look forward to talking with you all about them! Thanks in advance.
