building / flying soneraia 2LS .. anybody with experiance?

[Guest rocketdriver]

I am contemplating purchasing a part complete project and would appreciate any comments. I am a first time builder with some experiance of projects having built a road registered sports car. I have about 400 hours of tailwheel time.

 

Specifically.

 

Are they hard to build?

 

roughly speaking, how many hours do

 

the wings take

 

Covering take

 

wiring and plumbing take

 

I'm looking for some guidelines. I like building and want a project, but not one that takes the rest of my life!

 

I would also appreciate any comments about flying qualities of the finished aircraft ....

 

TIA

The son is building a Sonerai but has lost interest. It is partly completed and sitting in a shed - fuse, wings, tail. Needs engine, instruments, covering etc. I think it was more his father's idea - to give him some construction experience as he has been designing his own aircraft. Now he has moved on to doing beach buggies. He might be interested in selling. Building does take a long time and lots of space. They are slippery and not good for a novice pilot.
