The
design goal of the S-6S was to create a fast build kit plane with traditional
aircraft fabric covering. The basic airframe is based off the successful S-6ES.
In the tradition of the ES series most parts are pre-formed and pre-finished.
Typically on fabric planes, the inside is painted or covered with fabric. Many
hours of tedious labor is saved with the use of a molded interior kit. Final
assembly can begin once inventory and inspection is complete. Only the outside
of the plane and the instrument panel require painting. Even the panel can be
ordered powder coated.
A
Super Six can be built in the confines of an average garage using normal shop
tools and skills. The Super Six is an excellent project for the first-time
builder wanting the challenge of traditional aircraft fabric. Because of the
high level of "out of the box" finish and preparation, more time can
be spent on the details resulting in a highly professional finish with
performance to match.
RANS offers
the Sport Wing with large tapered
ailerons and flaps. The sport wing has extra STOL performance required
by float or heavy load high altitude operations.
The top of the line choice is the 912 four-stroke engine. The 912
offers the best in overall performance and fuel economy, with overhaul times as
high as 1500 hours.
