RANS S-6 Coyote II

Since beginning Coyote II production in 1989 over 1600 Coyote II's have been produced. The cabin is roomy fitting from 5'2" to 6'6", and weather tight. With the optional heater, fly year round. The Coyote II is STOL, with fast cruise 105 MPH to 120 MPH, depending on wing and engine options.

The sport wing offers great performance in both STOL and cruise speeds. At 30’8” span and a slight taper the handling is with little adverse yaw and snappy role rate. The sport wing will function well on floats and at high altitude. The advanced construction of the sport wing also allows a very precise shape airfoil in short build times.

With the standard wing the stock 80 HP Rotax 912 UL engine cruise speeds are in excess of a 100 mph. Fuel burn rates of less than 5 gallons per hour common. The 100 HP ups the cruise a few MPH, with a large increase in climb, all at a small increase in fuel burn. Overhaul times as high as 2000 hours have been reported by operators.

On December 23 2008 RANS certified the Coyote II as an SLSA. Designated S-6LS (for light sport) the Coyote II S-6LS, the design has been in production as an experimental aircraft since 1989. With almost 2000 flying examples in operation world wide.

Constructed using welded steel cage and light tubular aluminum alloy tail cone and flying surfaces. The design is classic high wing side by side seating, offered in tailwheel and trike landing gear configurations.

The S-6ES went into production in April 1990. The ES denotes "extended span". It is the second generation of the original S-6 design. Increased wing span through a fuselage redesign resulted in improved performance and appearance. The ES denotes "extended span". The design goals that the S-6 achieved represented a significant advance in quick-build kit planes. The S6ES series takes this goal even further. Using mostly all pre-finished parts and pre-sewn skins, the average build time is between 350 and 400 hours. Coyote II's can be built in the confines of an average garage normal shop tools and skills.

The S-6ES and S-6S Sport share the same fuselage, tricycle landing gear. They differ in wing (both size and planform). There are three choices of wing for the S-6ES and S-6S. The standard wing on both spans 34.5 ft with 155 sq.ft area. The Area-2 wing employs tapered flaps and ailerons that increase the wing area by about 10 sq.ft. The 116 wing is of tapered planform, reduces the span to 29.5 ft and 116 sq.ft. area.

The sport wing is standard and offers a 9:1 glide, the roll rate is light and adverse yaw very minimal. The presewn wings skins feature few seams. The sport wing is the most advanced dacron covered wing on the market, with such features as a leading edge skin, and root rib tensioning, and CNC stamped aluminum ribs.
Of 4130 tube frame, fabric covered.

The Coyote II had four Rotax engine choices; 503-DC 52 hp, 582 65 hp, 912 80 hp, or 912S 100hp.
