Kit Sonic-liner   from Multiplex Item No.  #214190

 The concept:

The future of long-distance travel - faster, higher, more economical

and with greater convenience. Flying close to the speed of sound

at altitudes above 40,000 ft. (approx. 14,000 m). Alas, this is not

to be - in the real world it remains only a paper concept.

The model:

The SONIC-liner is assembled from a small number of components,

and the airframe can be completed in just a few hours. In

the air the machine looks unique and unmistakable, and combines

this with totally benign fl ying qualities. In brief: the model

is a fascinating fl ying experience. It is controlled using ailerons,

and damped canard winglets operating as elevators. The power

system is two 400-size motors with pusher propellers. The outboard

wings and canard winglets are easily removed to facilitate

transport, making it possible to stow the model on the back seat

or in the boot of quite small vehicles. Access to the aileron servos

and power systems is granted by the removable rudder / motor

nacelle fairings. The model is designed for hand-launching and

“belly-landings”; this gives the machine a realistic appearance in

fl ight, combined with safe landings on any grass strip.
