The
model:
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 transported
easily on the back
seat or in the boot of even quite
small vehicles. It
can even be packed in its original
carton if the fins
are also removed. 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.
However, the instructions also include
information on
making an undercarriage or take-off
dolly if you have
access to a smooth, hard landing
strip.
