Dear List,
Anyone here seen any high time homebuilts.I do some part time work at
a RANS dealer, and I was wondering how long one of these would last.I
have heard some stories, but I have not personally been able to
verify.Anyone on this list have a high time RANS?


Planes are like the story of George Washington's axe. It's all
original except that the head has been replaced 10 times, and the
handle 3 :-)

Also depends on what you call high time. One of our club's two RANS S6
is coming up to 1000 hours in a month or so, it's about 3 years old.
No (touch wood) major work undertaken so far apart from the engine
overhauls of course.
