For sale is a freshly rebuilt 1989 Rans S9, a light sport eligible and fully aerobatic airplane. I purchased the airplane with the intent to fly it while I restored my Pitts. Unfortunately I cant leave well enough alone and I ended up doing a full restoration on the Rans! I am an A&P and specialize in fabric covered airplanes so the cover and paint is of professional quality. The airframe and engine has 149.2 hour total time and 6.2 hours since the rebuild.  

The engine is a Rotax 503 with a Warp Drive propeller. The engine was overhauled with a rebuilt crankshaft, new pistons and rings, and new ignition components. The gearbox was also rebuilt with new bearings, seals, and washers. The fuel system was completely replaced with a new wing tank, header tank, and tygon fuel tubing. The header tank is for inverted fuel and an electric fuel transfer pump for worry free aerobatics. It has the standard carb installed currently but included is an aerobatic carb for inverted flight. There is a smoke oil tank and pump installed but the system hasn't been plumbed to the exhaust yet.  

The airframe was completely disassembled, all steel parts blasted, primed, and painted and all aluminum was primed and painted. All hardware was replaced with new. It is covered using the certified Polyfiber system and painted with Ranthane urethane paint made specifically for fabric. Most people cant believe its fabric when they see it. It was properly rib laced. The wheels, tires, bearings, and brakes are all new. The canopy and all glass is new. It  has an upgraded Rans S-7 tail wheel that's steerable. The list could continue but just assume you're buying a like new airplane and you wont be disappointed. 

 The airplane flies beautifully. It is very responsive and light on the controls. The ground handling is surprisingly docile for a short coupled taildragger and any tailwheel pilot should be able to fly it off pavement with a little taxi time. Itd be a piece of cake on grass. I tried to build the airplane as light as practical and it performs well with the 503. Spades are included but not installed. The wings are easy to remove for transport and Im happy to do that for a buyer who wants the airplane shipped. The times will go up a little as Im still flying it some but I need the room to continue working on my Pitts so this toy needs to go. Please email with any questions.
