Hey guys, I've got a business trip to FL coming up in a week or two and am strongly considering using the opportunity to take my 912 down to Lockwood Aviation...
Hi I operate a Rans S6ESD-XL in the UK. I recently purchased an auxiliary fuselage tank to supplement the fuel carried in the one wing tank. (It was easier to...
I installed both tanks in my S-12....my fuel valve accepts a line from each and has one outlet......both tanks drain at the same time.....so the valve is on or...

If flying it there is an option, that might be best for you. Uninstalling should not be too bad, but if you screw up installing it ........ well, it will last...
Hi Everyone, I have been having one hell of a time deciding between the S-6ES and the Kitfox Lite 2. I have a bunch of questions about the S-6ES which I hope...
Hi George: First I think the S-6es has better looks than the kitfox lite. I have a S-6es/116/912 and have built other S-6 aircraft. I have also flown many ...
Hey George, I'm not going to try to talk you into a RANS plane, because the plane speaks for itself. But I can give you some input on the Kitfox lite II. I...
Hi 'ya George, I have an S-6S(dope and fabric version), which if you look over past post's to this list, will see that I absolutely love. If you know how to...
George, I purchased a not-too-used S6ES-116 18months ago. I just love it. However, if I had to do it again, I would go with the S6S-116. I have the 582 and...
George, The other guys on this list have pretty well covered my exact sentiments on the Rans airplane, so I won't go into it again. As Rick said, go back ...
Hi All, Just wanted to say thanks for all your help. You have convinced me, I am going to go with the S-6ES 116 with the 912. One more question, will the...
George, The 39 knot stall is at gross weight, i.e. full tanks and 2 onboard. Don't be suprised if in the next month or so Rans lowers the stall number. Mine...
Hi Greg and all - Whatever you do don't fail your class III physical and then plan to become a "Sport Pilot". I think the new Sport Pilot reg (driver's license...
George, Trust me, you will not regret this decision. But if ultimately you DO, the re-sale market in the Sport Pilot class should be quite brisk to say the ...
Please see: http://www.rans.com/SportPlane/SportPlane.htm Latest S-6S to come out Hays. Mark W. Dickey Hays, KS George, Trust me, you will not regret this...
Greetings Ed - I can't find the info but I think I read that if you fail a class III physical, your driver's license won't make you fit for flight. I think the...
Boy am I envious Bob, I've often thought about going out to Arizona to see Ed's setup and also to personally thank him for all the help he's given and ...
Bill, be sure to stop in when you are out this way and see some of the local territory from the air. I'm going to a training seminar this weekend. The FAA...
Gregg--You talked about hydraulic brakes vs. standard brakes. I have hydraulic brakes on my S-12 w/912 & can't holdon run up...had a S-14 w/ manual brakes that...
Ed - I'll be sure to do just that - thank you. Will call as the time draws near. I'm anxious now to hear about the PPL/SPL transition. All the best - Bill...
Cap - Here's a brake conditioning procedure. I haven't used it but seems to be an accepted practice (use your own judgement regarding engine rpm). Let us know...
Hi Shawn - I'd really like to visit. My sister and brother-in-law moved to Fountain Hills a year ago so Mary and I will be in the neighborhood. Will give...
I have the drum brakes on my S6ES. They barely hold it at 3000rpm. I made an assumption ( 'AssUMe' - to make an Ass out of U and Me) that the hydraulic brakes...
I haven't been a very good boy.... I basically just started this past weekend. I'm working on a 'portable' wing jig/stand so I can recheck the first wing ...
BTW - I called the Admin contact for http://www.powersportaviation.com <http://www.powersportaviation.com> and found out why the site has been down. They...
