Well, since I’m the one responsible for the website I thought I’d bite the bullet and go first, so here is my aircraft. I hope you like it...

Here I am at Hays in Kanzas for my flight training on the aircraft.

Note the ‘N’ number on the panel.

The RANS factory is the two buildings to the right. You can see the factory airstrip (a thin green line) to the left and slightly above the factory.

Lined up on finals at the factory airstrip. Yes, it really was that small!

So what’s it like to fly you ask? Well with all that visibility it’s great. It handles very well, light on the controls and plenty of power with a 100hp Rotax.

After a two month sea journey it’s in Australia at last and sporting it’s new registration letters.

I spent about three months (with much help from a friend) reassembling it and getting everything right after it arrived.

Here it is looking all new after it’s 5th flight in Australia.
