SONIC-liner… a visionary model
Long-haul journeys in the future - flying faster, higher, more economically and in greater comfort. Speeds close to the sound barrier, altitudes above 40,000 feet (approx. 14,000 m). The result - one fascinating airliner.
The SONIC-liner consists of a small number of components and can be assembled rapidly. It looks utterly extraordinary in the air, but its flying characteristics are sweet natured in the extreme. In short, it is a delightful model to fly.
The machine is controlled using canard elevators and separate ailerons. The power system consists of two 400-size motors in a pusher configuration.
The outboard wing panels and canards are removable for ease of transport and the model can be carried easily on the back seat or in the boot of even quite small vehicles. Access to the aileron servos and power system is through the removable fin / motor fairing.
The SONIC-liner is designed for hand launching and belly-landing. This ensures that the model is highly realistic in flight, and landings on grass surfaces are perfectly safe.
