m...
I have been eyeing the Sonerai for awhile now and was wanting opinions on
the mid wing and low wing.Any handling differences, speed, etc... Or any
other comments would be appreciated. Also, What was your completed cost?..
Thanks...


I have flown both the mid-wing and low wing versions. They seem to handle
and perform that same. The low wing version offers better visibility (when
landing) and perhaps, slightly lower landing speeds. For a tall person (with
long legs) the low wing is better as it can be difficult to get your legs
under the spar on the mid wing version.

Unless you go with a big engine (2180) they really are one seat airplanes.
If you have the big engine, you can put about a 120 pounder in the front
seat.

The 2L I flew the most, had a 1835 on it and would true about 140mph at 3500
feet. Sensitive controls and very tame landing characteristics for a "hot"
tailwheel airplane.
