Hey everyone! Finally took possession of my Sonerai today and moved it to it's new home. I look forward to putting it together and making her mine. I'm located in Calgary AB Canada. We are pretty high up at 3600 ft. I put the order in for the plans and the back issues of the magazine and look forward to getting them in the mail.

I suppose an update is in order. My membership ran out and I wasnt able to post. Sadly I've made zero progress on the aircraft since buying it. I ordered the plans and newsletter back issues via this forum. After scaring myself by looking at the plans, I actually had a life event and my girlfriend a and I took jobs in Vancouver BC. So far the plane is still hangered out in Calgary AB. Unfortunately I haven't found a suitable place to work on the plane here in Vancouver being as real estate is both mega expensive as gas is also. I may look at selling the project soon to let someone else with more time have at it.
 
If anyone is interested in the project, its in Calgary AB Canada, You'll get a great deal on the exhange rate if you're from the USA, but you'll have to pick up and ship the aircraft at your own expense as I do not have the ability to transport it.
 
I believe I saw this on kijiji before you got it... I MAY be interested if you're willing to sell without that motor. I'm all the way on the other coast though.
