The S-20 has the wings, tail, fuel system, and aero servo ailerons from the S-7S Courier, and engine system, control sticks, flap lever, rudder pedals, seats, and instrument panel from the Coyote II S-6S. The intent was to answer the many requests for a side by side bush plane, equal to or beyond the Courier.
Construction is straight forward and classic. The wing features 3″ and 2″ custom extruded spars, airfoil struts, and stamped aluminum ribs. All welded 4130 steel fuselage and tail complete the fuselage.
Design features that will make the plane an easy project include: Welded steel fuselage and tail (all welding is completed at the factory) CNC drilled spars that eliminate almost all critical drilling and locating of holes. One-piece stamped ribs are punched with final hole sizes, and many parts are anodized eliminating the need to prime or corrosion proof. The kits are very detailed and supplied with all critical components. Builders only need to supply, engine, prop, paint, avionics, and fluids
The S-19 is a low wing monoplane of traditional aluminum construction, featuring a constant chord wing.
The S-19 is powered by a Rotax 912 ULS engine producing 100 HP. The aircraft seats two in side by side in a 43.5” wide cockpit. Headroom is ample for even 6’4” pilots, and even larger with slight modifications.
Baggage can be carried in a 13 cubic foot compartment behind the seats with a loading capacity of 70lb. This compartment can be extended to the rear for approximate 9.5 cubic foot additional baggage space with a loading capacity of 30 lb.
The S-19 structure is of “monocoque” (stressed skin) carrying most of the strength through the aluminum skins. The skins are sufficiently supported with an internal structure of bulkheads and stringers to maintain shape.
High quality blind rivets are used throughout the construction of the airframe, with the exception of the spars, which come assembled with solid rivets. The fit and finish of the parts allowing virtually jigless assembly, and many parts to final hole size accelerate and assure a high quality structure. The S-19 may appear complicated, and high in part count, but we assure you the well machined components will assemble quickly, and with much lightness, due to the great care made in keeping things light. The S-19 is a low wing monoplane of traditional aluminum construction, featuring a constant chord wing.

Developed in 2000, the S-18 is a two place version of the S-17 Stinger.
In 2000, the planned kit price (ready to ship in March 2001) was US$14,500 and included the dual carb 503, tundra tires and a nose pod. The kit includes the welded and painted fuselage. No painting, welding, bonding or sanding is required to build the S-18.
Powered by a Rotax 503, the S-18 gets airborne in less than 300 ft, climbs at 700 fpm, with a cruise of 70 mph.
Randy Schlitter began building “sailtrikes” (better known to us as land yachts) in 1974 in Kansas before moving on to pushbikes and microlights. His first flying machine was the Coyote, which first flew in March of 1983 under the Aeromax name. This was soon changed to the RANS name.

The Santa Anna 001 is a 2 seat tandem touring motor glider with short cruise wings with double slotted flaps and optional long span soaring wings. Retractable tandem nose wheel gear and outriggers. Construction is mixed wood and composite. Yellow cedar structure, glass/kevlar flying surface, Okoume ply fuselage skins.
First flown on 10 April 2008, C-GPLC was owned by Paul Ralph, Victoria BC, Canada.
Engine: Continental A65 Prop: Home made Cruise: 115 mph Stall: 45mph
New in 2002 was the Ranger I from Rainbow Aviation. This design evolved from joining a Continental 65 hp engine to an ultralight wing and a Breezy airframe.
The landing gear is formed from the composite spring used in a Pontiac Trans Am. The wing and tail are all metal and the fuselage can be fabric covered if desired.
