RANS S-7LS Certified Sport Plane

by Mr. Flight on December 19th, 2005

RANS has announced that the RANS S-7LS has been certified into the light sport category of aircraft. The aircraft start at about $75,000 and typically come with a Rotax 912S 100hp engine.

“It is a charmer, a well loved plane with outstanding STOL performance, 91 to 100 kts cruise with about 500 pounds payload. It is a practical plane, can handle lots of surface and cross wind, easy to enter and exit, super forgiving slow flight, and light and fun handling. In everyway this plane retains the nostalgic fun flying of the past with the advantage of advances in aerodynamics, engines, materials, and manufacturing process.” - Randy Schlitter, president of the RANS Aircraft
