I have been planning to build a Sonerai II for a few months and just purchased a Sonerai IIL that has not flow in 4 years and needs some work. It has the 9 rib wing and a second 9 rib wing kit I am hoping to make into the 11 rib wing (Looks like I Just need 2 more ribs per side? It has the L angles from the B wing).
I've been reading posts on here for a while and appreciate all the great info! I am a 160 HR pilot with about 18 in a Piper Cub. a little over a year ago I completed building (and now am flying) a Zenith 701. I needed a new project and challenge. I really like the look of the tail wheel airplane but am a bit concerned It might be a bit much for me and am considering making it a Tricycle gear that can be converted back to tail dragger later. Any thoughts on a good transition plan to help me prepare for flying it as a tail dragger would be greatly appreciated!
