1 – Sinus in flight
The sleek lines of Sinus and the fully composite construction with a 15-meter wing span, which provide for a glide ratio touching 1:30, will convince also the more demanding pilot in you. Being equipped with high-tech features such as flaperons, airbrakes and variable-pitch propeller enables the Sinus to excel at everything you put her through. She is easy to handle both in the air and on the ground and can be had in both tricycle or tail dragger undercarriage configuration. Sinus comes in two variants, the 503 and 912 with corresponding Rotax two- and four- stroke engines.
Fast cross country flights to destinations 1000 km and further away doing more than 200 km/h (110 kts) are a reality with Sinus, even while burning around 10 liters of automotive fuel (mogas) or avgas per hour. Unbeatable efficiency! When the glider pilot in you wakes up, you can simply switch off the engine, feather the propeller and fly like an eagle, playfully taking advantage of rising air columns and soar into the sky using natural powers…

3 -The cabin & seats (different colours available)
A comfortable cockpit has a side-by-side seating arrangement with all the controls reachable to both pilots. The pedals, seat and headrest can be adjusted to suit your body. The large, ergonomically shaped instrument panel has enough room to fit everything you want to have, beside the multifunction digital flight display which monitors all flight- and engine parameters and comes standard with the aircraft.
