Motor glider Xenos-B

single-seat

The XENOS follows in the Monnett tradition of bringing the cost of motor gliding to a highly affordable level. Using the same cost-effective and easy-to-build construction techniques and materials of the Sonex and Waiex, the Xenos offers another Reality Check for the soaring world. The Xenos comes standard with utility wing tips that can be easily removed to fit inside a 40 foot hangar, and can be quickly interchanged with optional aerobatic wingtips. The Xenos can either be flown as a Sport Pilot/LSA, or it can be flown by pilots that hold a glider rating with a self-launch glider endorsement. The Xenos can be flown as a powered aircraft, a self-launched glider that soars with the engine off, or it can motor-soar over great distances with incredible fuel economy. About the B‑Models What is the B-Model? It’s what you’ve been asking for! More of everything you want in a sport aircraft: Sonex, Waiex and Xenos B-Models are enlarged via straightening of the forward fuselage sides, and feature improved creature comforts: More width and comfort at the shoulders, hips, knees and feet. Seat back is moved aft, and new seating geometry accommodates taller individuals. Staggered seating is available via upholstery seat back cushions. Center “Y-Stick” option offers dual controls with easier cockpit entry and roomier seating. Dual Throttles are standard.
