S-6S Builder's Log

Welcome to my RANS S-6S Super Coyote builder's log. The Coyote is a side-by-side, two place experimental aircraft kit manufactured by RANS Designs in Hays, KS. With cruise speeds of up to 120 mph and enough cargo room to pack a weekend's worth of camping gear, the S-6S is the perfect back-country, go anywhere, kitplane!

With this page, you may follow along with the building process of my S-6. This page is updated anytime I make a little progress on the plane. For more information on this airplane, or any other cool RANS airplane, visit the factory RANS website or the RANS CLAN website.
