The Sonerai IS NOT a Kit aircraft. You can purchase the parts as you require them. In addition to the airframe and engine parts that are supplied by Great Plains Aircraft, you will need to order the 4130 steel, aluminum, and hardware from other suppliers. The cost for the material for the fuselage and empenage (tail) is approximately $1600.00.
Every set of Sonerai plans comes complete with a listing of raw materials needed to construct one Sonerai aircraft. You will quite possibly find that you will need additional hardware to finish your aircraft.
When ordering the wing skin material from a supplier other than Great Plains Aircraft, be sure to specify the length of the skins. A standard sheet is only 96" long and the wing skins are 100" in length.
The following companies are major suppliers of tubing, hardware and aluminum. We suggest you write or call them for their catalogs.
