Hayes
Aero, LLC is the midwest's largest and most knowledgeable Light
Sport Aircraft dealer. We are a factory authorized RANS dealer as
well as a fully certified Rotax Repair Station. I’m back from Sun & Fun 2012. What a beautiful week of weather we had. We had a lot of traffic through the RANS booth where the S-19 and S-7S were on display. Jana gave lots of demo rides in the S-7S and S-19. It seems to me like the draw to the S-7S is from those who want a Bush type plane. I think the internet videos and Alaska flying shows on television have had a lot to do with that. With the changes to the 2012 plane, especially the larger fuel tanks (26gal) new gross weight to 1320, new ailerons, Bush tire option the S-7S and it pricing is attracting the Bush Pilot crowd.
Ted Bryant of B&B Sport aviation had a booth set up at Sun & Fun’s Paradise City with his new S-6S, an S-6ES, Mike Suckling’s S-7S and Tom Caliendo’s S-12 . Tom beautiful S-12S won reserve Grand Champion Light Sport Aircraft.
I enjoyed meeting and talking with the RANS CLAN and other RANS enthusiast. It was fun putting faces to the names we see on our groups. If the demos ride and people who signed up for more info are any indication, we will see many more RANS owners joining our discussions on the RANS Groups.
