Dear Prospective SONERAI Builder:
I want to thank you personally for taking the time to consider the "SONERAI FAMILY" of sport aircraft as your potential project of choice. The Sonerai family offers one of the best values in terms of dollars spent for performance in today's sport aircraft market.
Great Plains Aircraft Supply Company Inc. has been in business since 1982. At our original location in Omaha, Nebraska we supplied a wide variety of products for homebuilders, including most AN hardware, tube fittings, aircraft cable, foam, fiberglass, and many other common homebuilder supplies. Great Plains Aircraft was a major aircraft hardware kit supplier to several sport aircraft companies. Our main business was, and still is supplying VW based engines and components to the homebuilder. In 1984, we sold our aircraft hardware line focusing our energies on producing the very best VW based engines and components. We found our niche! Our engines and components have been unmatched in quality and price ever since!
In late 1987, Great Plains began supplying parts for the Sonerai Series of homebuilt aircraft. Parts are available for all of the different Sonerai's. The Sonerai I is a single place aerial sports car. It uses a 1600cc - 2180cc Great Plains VW based engine. The Original Sonerai II is a two-place tandem aircraft. It is available as a mid-wing taildragger, a low-wing taildragger, or as a low-wing tri-gear. The Original Sonerai II can utilize Great Plains VW based engine's from 1700 - 2180cc. Finishing out the Sonerai Family of Sport Aircraft is the Sonerai II "S" series (S stands for STRETCH). The Sonerai II-S is 18" longer than the Original Sonerai II. The Stretch model gives the passenger an additional 6" of room. The Sonerai II-Stretch is available as a two place low-wing taildragger, or as a two place, low-wing tri-gear. The Sonerai II-Stretch uses a Great Plains 2180cc VW based engine only. This is due to the increased useful load of the Stretch Series.
Great Plains Aircraft has provided world class quality products since day one. We have had the same management team since 1982. Great Plains Aircraft is focused on it's market and products, and strive for continuous improvement of both.
Please take your time to study the information enclosed on the different Sonerai Aircraft. We think you will agree that even after 25+ years the Sonerai Family of Sport Aircraft are still among the finest sport aircraft available today.
Sincerely,

Steve Bennett
President
WORLD'S LEADING MANUFACTURER OF VW BASED AIRCRAFT ENGINE KITS AND COMPONENTS
