Jealous!  I have always wanted to fly one.  The guys with the 912 powered ones are doing some amazing stuff with them!

 

Nice bird Mr!

A very early "Short Tail" S7.

Yep, late 1993 kit.  First flew in 98. Rans didnt seem to change models they just modified the planes as they came along.  The tail,trim and gear changed depending on when your kit was make durning the year.  No one at Rans seems to know or have a record of what or when on the earlier models.  I've found three different VNE speeds listed for the same airplane.

I have a 80 hp 912 sitting in the hanger to hang on it.  I want to get it flying with the 582 and see how I like it first.  If I dont like it was well as the KF I'll move it on and keep my eye out for a KF 4 or 5 project for the 912.
