This plane is so streamlined that glides like a motorglider ! Wich is it L/D? Do you ever gain altitude circling thermals? I think you could try it, with engine at idle (try it above 1000ft, just in case ...) Greetings from Patagonia, Argentina ! 🌲🇦🇷
I answer myself: I search for its performances in internet, and learned that Sinus Max is a 15m wingspan motorglider version, with an L/D of 28:1. Nice plane !!!
I’m not sure if the Sinus is equipped with top wing spoilers which would allow it’s pilot to choose to practice a long straight in approach rather then a close in circling let down.
That plane has a pretty good glide slope.

@upskonn Oops! Right, you are. Brain fart.
@upskonn Ooops! Right you are!
The Sinus is a Motor Glider 27/1 Glide Ratio
If the engine get stopped this plane can land easily nice to see it .
