The Convecta Motorglider has undergone a name change to Xenos! This name is Sonex backwards and the base word Xeno means strange or different. We believe this Motorglider Reality Check is truly a unique design, combining the elegant lines of the Sonex with the Sleek, v-tail look of it’s grandfather, the Moni Motorglider. This page will contain all of the latest updates as construction of the Xenos continues!
