I have experience of AX3, Chevvron and Shadow. The two latter have a higher cruising speed than the AX3 (AX3 criuises about 50 - 55kt, the other two about 65kt) so they would be better for touring, but for sheer fun (STOL and control response etc) it's the AX3 every time.
I've never flown a Rans of any type, but had a 'hankering' for an S4 at one time. I would imagine the S6 has similar performance to the Shadow CD.
mikehallam; you're not related to the late Gp.Capt. Reg Hallam are you?
