Congratulations on your purchase or evaluation of the Pipistrel Sinus or Virus aircraft kit.
The Sinus and Virus are unique aircraft, providing exceptional performance, unparalleled
flying qualities and astonishing economy.
The building procedures explained in this manual are aimed towards the abilities of an average
person with basic tools. Most of the precision manufacture has been performed at the factory
under controlled conditions, and this will provide the homebuilder with an aircraft which should
be every bit as good as a factory manufactured plane.
Most of the construction can be performed by the builder alone, but you will require additional
assistance for some tasks. Possibly a friend or partner could assist you with some of the
construction. In situations, where you need to rotate the fuselage or fit the wings, you may
need three people.
By following these simple instructions and the accompanying photographs, we expect that you
will need around 250 to 400 hours of enjoyable construction to finish the aircraft. Should you
have any questions with this manual or the construction techniques please contact Pipistrel USA
for clarification. If you aren't used to the metric system, be sure to check Appendix 1 where we
have added a conversion table to help you with certain measurements.
As this is a new version of the kit manual for Pipistrel's Sinus and Virus rcraft, we would like your
feedback and suggestions on the different tasks, so we may improve the manual for future
customers. Please email info@pipistrel-usa.com with any of your questions
They say a picture is worth 1000 words... so we have tried to incorporate this in our manual and
let the pictures do the talking. With over 1000 deruddered images to select from and print out
you will probably find many answers to your questions in the photos and accompanying text.
Time to build..... Lets start !!
