Well the journey is complete, after 9 months of drama and frustration and around 1400.00 !!!!!! I have a new Rattray Sonerai 1 cowling in my hangar. He's probably the worst business I have ever dealt with except that in the end I did get the cowling. I argued with him when I picked it up that it was not for a Sonerai 1 because the measurements didn't match the fuse that I just bought from Ed, I didn't go too far though with that argument because I knew in my mind I never confirmed the fuse with the drawings. I just shoved the cowl in my car told him he was hard to deal with and left.
On the way home (6hr. drive) I kept looking at the cowl and told my wife that it indeed could be for a Sonerai 1 cause it sure as heck wasn't gonna fit a Sonerai 2.
Today I went to the hangar after looking at my Sonerai 1 drawings tape measure in hand. The fuse is not to plans and the cowling that came with it (been chopped up pretty well) must be a Monett, cause it sure as heck ain't a Rattray.
Long story just to say don't deal with Rattray and if you are considering buying a started project, well...... just don't.
