Questions and content about air travel (passenger experience, frequent flyer programs, etc.) are better suited to r/travel. Flight simulation belongs in r/flightsim. “Aviation enthusiast” content is better suited to r/aviation. r/flying is intended to be a place to discuss things like pilot training, regulations, procedures, techniques, aircraft ownership and maintenance, piloting as a career, and similar topics. Certain questions, such as "how do I become a pilot" and the like have been asked repeatedly in the past. The wings are easily assembled and dismounted, should this be required.Welcome to /r/flying. Removing the door is a simple and quick procedure and only requires two safety pins to be removed. With this configuration there are no extra airspeed restrictions, however the maximum recommended airspeed is 108 kts. You can remove one door completely, whereas the other door must be in place, closed and locked. For much larger objects, the access to the luggage compartment is through the cabin – the seats fold in seconds and this provides a large opening and additional access to the luggage compartment.Ĭan you fly without the door for aerial photography? It features a lock so all your items inside will be safe. The side luggage access door is available as an option and provides easy and direct access to the luggage area from the outside. However, typical values for the Sinus 912 are 60 lbs for aircraft without the rescue system and 29 lbs when the rescue system is installed on board.

and can be calculated for each individual aircraft using the formulas in Flight manual and Maintenance manual, Section Weight and Balance. Baggage allowance varies upon the level of equipment, etc. The parking brake is available as an option together with Berringer high performance tyres and wheel brakes.īaggage safely fits in the solid luggage compartment behind the seats, which is easily accessible. The nose wheel version adds16 lbs in empty weight and increases the fuel flow by 0.4 gph at cruise speed. What is the weight / fuel consumption penalty for the nose wheel version?

The Sinus 912 is our most popular aircraft and It uses the legendary 80 hp Rotax 912, 4 cylinder 4-stroke engine (now with a 2000 TBO) which allows the Sinus to become a ‘super sophisticated’ motorglider just like the ‘real ones’ but at a 1/3 of the price. It takes most owners about 20 minutes to rig or de-rig the aircraft. The Sinus assembly is very simple, just like conventional gliders, and the wing control connections are automatically locked on connection of the wings. The airbrakes on top of the wing allow landing the Sinus in very short distances over high obstacles. The main wheels have strong hydraulic disk brakes and the tail wheel or nosewheel option is directly controlled by the pedals. The main landing gear is aerodynamically profiled and made of composite materials. The standard capacity is 16 gallons with a long range option increasing the capacity to around 26 gallons. The wing tanks have the fuel cap on top, as well as a visual check within the cockpit for the fuel level. All controls are easy to use and reach from both seats and dual pedals and sticks mean the aircraft can be flown from either seat. The pedals are adjustable forward and aft in flight and are manufactured from stainless steel. Both the pilot and passenger pedals have differential toe brakes fitted. The seats are ergonomic with an adjustable head rest. The cabin is properly insulated from noise and very comfortable for even those long flights. The airfoil used on the wings is IMD 029-b (Orlando, Venuti). It is manufactured from hi-tech epoxy resin, fibreglass, carbon and kevlar composites. The Sinus is equipped with positive and negative flaperons, airbrakes and tail wheel (optional nosewheel). The Sinus motorglider is a strutless 49′ 1½” wing span motorglider, powered by the 80hp Rotax 912 4-stroke engine and available as a ready-to-fly LSA aircraft or as a kit in either the LSA or experimental categories.
