In 2007 I created the RANS CLAN website because there was no online community for RANS builders. This website is built and maintained in my spare time. I am not an employee of RANS Designs and I am not paid by RANS.

Over the years the RANS CLAN has seen tremendous growth in the number of users (and in site content). This has led to greatly increased costs to build and publish this website. Aside from personal costs, it also requires a huge amount of my personal time to maintain. This is time that I could be flying, hanging out with friends, or building a different online business.

I publish the RANS CLAN because I am passionate about it. There is no doubt that a lot of builders and pilots use this website and benefit from it. Like any business, my goal is to provide a top-notch product with outstanding value and service. For that effort, I hope to earn a return on my investment of time and money.

Do you visit the RANS CLAN regularly? Do you benefit from the information or entertainment you receive on the forums? Have you downloaded one of the many free painting templates or files from the Downloads page? If so, I believe it's fair to ask for a donation.
 

I really do appreciate the donations I receive. Out of the 2,000+ people that use this website, below are the people that have supported it with a donation.
 

How do I donate?

I want to thank the following people for helping to support this website. My goal is to make the RANS CLAN the number one place on the net for RANS builders and flyers to gather and learn. We have seen a lot of growth this year!
