Those are the ones although the size you quote is not quite right as I recall. It has been in service for one year (100 hours). I am now pondering a different...
John, What actually happens Does the tube come out of the rubber? Does the rubber come out of the tank? Does the rubber perish? Or does it just slowly seep...
For what it's worth, many of us have flown with some tank systems for years, in one case, 15 to 20, I believe, without a failure or leak. If the hole is...
It looks like when I fly the bottom fabric of the aircraft pushes against the bottom of the grommet on the s/b tank. This would suggest that I have attached...

I notice the charts show significantly less cruise performance with the 80 hp Jabiru in comparison with the equivalent Rotax. I wonder what the current...
I have a set of SlipStream amphib floats, Shark Series model 1350 for sale. I used them to design the attachment harware for the Sky Ranger. Same type of...
Chuck, Got it! Thanks. It's in the mail. In fact you should have it back by the time you read this. Anyone that thinks the French version is even close to as...
Gary, BEWARE! I bought MY plane from Green Landings too. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the manual would be in French! Guess what? It was in French!...
Doug, You say, "Over 40 SkyRanger kits were sold in the US last year, yet we probably only average one or two calls a day with build questions." If you have...
Rod, You got that right! I was amazed at how helpful it was, and infuriated that I had to absolutely find the source by myself, and it was only thru the...

Hi Guys Just had a interesting find reported today that you might want to be aware of. On one Skyranger the builder had cut the dash top quite tight around the...
Until you take off and the fabric moves up - I never thought of that one.. or the fact that the tanks are fitted at a slight angle - matched to the urge to...
Aluminium fuel tanks are usually unmitigated disasters! - Rans abandoned them long ago on the S6 as they always fatigue crack along the welds. Also expensive...
Can anyone tell me the preferred fitting, and where to fix them when fitting the wing tip fairings. I am assuming they are either rivetted or self tapped...
I used 4 sheet metal screws on mine so they could be removed for lights and wires. also leave a little gap between the tip and the tube for the wires. ken f....
If you have made unusual or other changes to your Skyranger and would like to share with others, please send me some pictures. I will add them to the Skyranger...
... I couldn't have agreed more until recently, when I realised (after a mere 6 months!) that there was a solution using Deepak's 20l+ fuel bottles. I'm not...
Hi John The fuselage fabric is pushed down by the tanks statically so doesn’t change position in flight in this area. Tanks and all other components in the...

The S6 Rans changed to a single plastic tank behind the seats, and now has I think wing tanks instead. With the fuselage tank the filler was on top of the...
