Like all good businesses, Sonex have been listening to their customers, and I can confirm the truth of the much-rumored Sonex Bi Model.

The early information is that the entire upper wing leading edge plus centre wing is sealed to form a 150 gallon long range fuel tank, thus meeting Bob's requirement for a gravity feed system and my requirement for a range of nearly 3000 miles. No release date yet but I'm sure a quick-billed kit will be available.

You will have to be a tiny person to get in and out of that canopy unless they also included the much anticipated slide back canopy option.
