Rans S6, S9 and S10

Does anyone have any experience with these aircraft (i.e. how do they fly)? Any links to any good sites dealing with them, especially with pilot reports?

Thanks for the input! I know Kitplanes and I was an EAA member for almost 20 years. I was however looking for an objective opinion, and in Sport Aviation in particular everything is wonderful and fantastic with hardly any criticism…

I flew a taildragger S.6 with an 100hp Rotax engine a couple of times.

Didn’t expect it, but it flew very nice. Very responsive controls etc.

Only negative thing I can think of right now was the lack of runway-visibility when you’re flying end of downwind.

My recommendation is to go to the website of the U.S. magazine Kitplanes.

http://www.kitplanes.com/

It’s a good magazine with articles on R&D, “how to build” and flight tests.

There is a search index so you can find the issues you need and either buy hard copys of the back issues or I believe you can download articles for a fee.

Another place to look would be in the EAA’s magazine Sport Aviation.
