Rans S6ES Kit

Ref: S6ES

The S6ES with the Area 1 wing is the bench mark 3 axis microlight that all the competition tries to imitate. With a MAUW of 450kg its a real super plane.

Its available in either conventional trike or taildragger format using either the lightweight but powerful Jabiru J2200 engine or Rotax 582 or 912 engines. A whole host of optional extras are available but 912 builders should take care to watch the empty weight limit.

The kits are complete unlike some of the competition, and include all the components to assemble the basic airframe, including the wheels, tyres, cowlings, seats, fabric skins, Air speed indicator, hardware, UK modifications, antenna mounting etc. All other optional extras available see the Options page

In addition to the airframe kit you would need an engine installation kit and engine, neither of these need to be purchased at the same time as the airframe kit, thus spreading the costs over the build period.
