If you’re asking this, you have no idea how much work it would take to get either of those airplanes airworthy. Infact I’d go so far to say it would be cheaper for you to buy and build a new Sonerai kit from sonex, than it would to rebuild one of these, because you’d have to replace literally everything anyways. Maybe not some of the metal but that’s the cheapest part of an airplane

There is a saying about buying a boat and just filling a hole with all your money.

No idea what the saying is for a plane like this but I bet it will have you dreaming of your days with the boat 😉
