Hi Rauxaman,
I’d concur with the above comments, based on fifteen years and over two thousand flying hours of ownership. If you can find a 912 version, you would probably find it better in the long run (the 582 is thirstier and has shorter TBO’s).
With regard to Jucky’s comments, like most aircraft of this type, the S6 displays significant adverse yaw. If you are carrying significant rudder pressure all the time, check the rigging and if necessary install a fixed trim on the rudder. Any tendency to fly ‘one wing low’ can be corrected by biasing the flaps. There is an adjustable rear strut option as well. Obviously being a light side by side seating machine, disposition of fuel, people and baggage will influence the lateral trim. Quite a few S6 have aerodynamic pitch trim, in place of the original bungy cord system. This is one of the best modifications for improving the feel of the controls.
As with all things in aviation, there are compromises. The S6 does most things reasonably well. The design is good for farm strip operation and will tour as long as you are not in too much of a hurry. Even Champ Chump will fly it, but only if her beloved Champ is not available…
Safe Flying,
Richard W.
