Sonerai IIL N86PH about 1986 at Orange County Airport, NY.
1835 cc, sterba prop, no electrical system, 3 pulls to start, engine ran great, fast as hell. It loved landing in grass and a full slip would put in anywhere (there were no flaps). Only mod was 2.5 inches to the turtledeck, you can see where the slope increases just behind the canopy.

A pilot & aircraft(s) that we should be celebrating .
Pity that Sonex wont adopt any of his many well proven innovations that make these ( Robins) aircraft so capable.
