Hi everyone.
I'm looking at buying a Sonerai IIL project that is pretty far along and the work looks nicely done.
The fuselage has been modified with a lowered turtle deck and fitted with a bubble canopy so that it has a similar silhouette to an RV3 or RV4.
To compensate, the builder added what looks like 20% more vertical stabilizer area and has also incorporated a pylon/rollbar just behind the pilot's head.
Has anyone seen a flying Sonerai done like this or heard others making similar mods to the fuselage?
The design will impart a little more drag but I'm not looking to race anyway. My goal is gentleman solo aerobatics with the occasional passenger (no dual aerobatics).
Any help or opinions on the mod would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
