Hello everyone,
I am new here and have few airframe questions.
My friend has a completed Sonerai 1 aircraft, less engine, that he would like to sell me.
The fuselage has been cut directly aft of the cockpit.
The cuts are clean and pins have been pressed in to join the fore and aft sections of the fuselage back together.
The main wing spar has be cut so the main wings fold up.
The rudder/flaps have been immobilized by riveting 4"x6" sheet aluminum to the flap to main wing and rudder to stabilizer.
And the main gear strut has been cut in two pieces.
The aircraft was used for a period of time as a prop for a magic show aboard a Carnival cruise ship this is the reason for the separation of the fuselage and main wing and tail modifications.
I want to make it airworthy again.
Would the members give me some guidance with this?
If needed I will photograph the aircraft in detail and post them to be evaluated.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
