Welcome to my website, and thank you for your interest in the Sonerai family of homebuilt airplanes.  They are great little airplanes that are fun, low cost, honest flying machines.  My Sonerai IIL is shown in the slide show above.  It’s been flying since 1986, and has more than 1500 hours on the Hobbs meter.  The engine is a mostly Great Plains Aircraft Supply 2180cc VW conversion with a Sterba 52x46 propeller.  My plan is to continuously improve and update this site as time goes along, so please check back on a regular basis to see the changes.
