Hiperlight SNS 8 experimental light sport aircraft from Thunderbird Aviation
Experimental Aircraft News Magazine - Hiperlight Aircraft - We talk to Ron Jones of Thunderbird Aviation about the Hiperlight single and two place series of ultralight, experimental and soon to be light sport aircraft during the E.A.A. Airventure Convention held at Wittman Field in Oshkosh Wisconsin.
Thunderbird Aviation - When the rights for production of the Hiperlight line of light recreational aircraft came up for sale Ron Jones of Thunderbird aviation purchased them.
Ron had a desire to build one of these fine aircraft when they first came out on the market being produced by Sorrel Aviation nearly 20 years ago, so when Sunset Rise Manufacturing put the business up for sale he decided to purchase it.
Ron says "Thunderbird Aviation has no desire to change the design, we will be producing it pretty well the way the Sorrel's designed it." "We will be offering three basic packages, the SNS 8 UL the ultralight version of the plane which is a true part 103 craft, the SNS 8 EXP our experimental version of the single place and the SNS 9 our two place Hiperlight. "
The single place ultralight version is powered by the Zanzaterra, MZ 201 twin cylinder two stroke, while the experimental version uses the 447 and 503 Rotax. The kits take about 150 to 200 hours to put together, with the single place version using pre-sewn dacron envelopes while the two seat version will use a conventional fabric style of covering.
Current production delivery times are 8 to 10 weeks from placement of order, by late summer Ron hopes to have kits on hand for delivery.
