RANS S6 ES
Hi Looking at buying RANS S6 ES. Posted on FB and got usual rubbish about 'buy a Skyranger', C42, etc so hopefully no repeats of that. Can anyone help me with a buyers guide of some sort please? What do I look for, what are weak points, etc? How is it on soft fields (my field gets soft in Winter, and this Summer at times!)? Can it be flown solo from RH seat? Is there mod to add 2nd throttle and if so how much is it roughly? I assume throttle is relatively to get used to? How's handling generally? That sort of thing. ALL help very gratefully received.
It's 912 engine and I'm happy with 912 'outside' (a Shadow) but not enclosed as in S6.
I'm looking for something that takes 2 people a reasonable distance (250+nm) at reasonable cruise speed (80kts), with some baggage. Don't need comfort of an armchair or Cessna but don't want to feel like I'm in a flexwing either! I currently fly Shadow (Rotax 912) and XAir (582) so a combination of the 2 would be ideal and S6 seems to fit the bill.
Any S6 in Lancs I might look at and chat to owner would be PERFECT!
Many thanks in anticipation.
