Hi everyone Since we don't know when, or if our junk ad less old forum started and run by Bob Widmer will return, and Joe's forum on Bravenet loves to feed our...
Wow! stall is at least 4mph or more slower (8mph lower indicated, but I'm sure of pitot/static error at this crazy AOA). Best $80 I ever spent. I've also...
To all, Interesting you are doing tuft testing. I just got back from Oshkosh along with two of my KITFOX buddies. They have the 80 horse Rotax, no wheel pants,...
Hey, Mark. How was Oshkosh? Did Burt Rutan talk? Sounds like your prop pitch is your main problem. Fix that and you will leave those kitfoxes behind in your...
PJ, Oshkosh was great but I think the trip there and back was more fun! It was a great cross-country with two good friends. Kind of like a good road-trip. Burt...
Hi everyone and welcome to the new S-10 and S-9 group. I belong to two other RANS Yahoo groups and this is the way to go. May I suggest that everyone click on...

OK, I have just posted 111 images. I realized very late that I forgot to ask the authorization of most of the authors. I deeply apologise for that. I assumed...
Juan, It's great to hear from you and I'm glad you're a member of this site. I can not take credit for starting it though. I believe it was started by an S-9...

Hello to All I have a shelled (seized rod bearing) 532 for parts if any one is interested. Also a muffler from the new /used 582 that I bought. Looks like it...

hello everybody, first of all let me say that i'm very glad to have found this website! I'm really hoping to get a lot of useful info here. Last week i had an...
Great group. I have a question. I have heard some mixed reports about pumper carbs for my 503. I also heard there may be injection out there. Wondering if...
Check out for the Mikuni Pumpers. They aren't an Injection system, but they will let you fly upside down as much as you want! I think you can buy them directly...
I have scoured the net and found some good info but no suppliers. Can anyone reccomend a supplier I could chat with? Thanks, Jeff Juan Martin Amestoy...
Regarding alernative carbs, there was a guy at the Rans Openhouse ande fly in that was from Denver who was promoting an alernative carb system for 2 cycle...
hi all, does anyone out there know where i can get a dash template for a S9? i'm sure i could probably order one, i was just wondering if any of you may...
I have gone through all this carb BS and can tell you Rans has no recomendation for carbs for the 503. The Mikuni super BN carb they supply is only suitable...
Phil, Certainly your information is very useful! I thought the 503 was as suitable as the 582 for the Mikuni Pumpers. I am almost sure I have seen a guy with...

Heyo. I tested my S10's cruise speed with and without Vortex Generators today. It was fairly calm, smooth air, so made for good testing. I get 1.6 mph loss...
Now here is some positive news about an induction system modification that is very impressive. Yesterday, I accompanied a friend of mine who has a Kitfox...
I have been looking at the Rans S10 kit. I have a few questions. 1. Realistically how long does it take to build? 2. What kind of tools will I need? 3. Can you...
I was thinking about it and I left off a few questions I had. 1. Can you attach floats or skies for snow or water takeoff/landing? 2. I have some family about...
Jeremy, You're asking a lot from an S-10. Here's my answers and I'll keep them short. 1. Time to Build? Do you want to throw it together or build a nice plane?...
Thanks for the response. That's great I actually live in Maryland so I will have to check that dealer out. What I meant by being able to fly at night was if...
Hello all, My name is Mike. I am a student pilot, and like many, dream of owning an aerobatic plane of my own someday. The plane I envision owning need not...
