Thanks Thys, You right it can't take too long to get the Rans ready. I had contact with the Rans company now.

Yes, the Rans is very strong. My son and his instructor were lucky to survive.

I am happy they survived the crash.

It was a beautiful airplane.

I transport Rans home a long way the beginning of a journey almost 500Kms.

Here are some pics from when I transport S 10 to my home.
I wash the plane with soap and water and it look so much
better now. Will post more pics when I at home later.

I contacted Rans several times but to get only a manual out of them took me already 6 weeks. If a S 10 own...

My aerie climb like a home sick angel on steroids.

The only instruments I need on my Quicksilver is EHT just because I cannot reach the exhaust to feel the temperature. All the rest I can feel and judge by my own experience,rate of climb or decent is not important and altitude you must be high enough. I would say if you are a true pilot you must be ...
