I really like Randy. I always have. He's just a great down to earth guy that you can talk to. You get the truth, and no BS. He will be getting my money before too long.
Best produced demo video in your entire arsenal ... the variety of camera views , angles and editing was superb ...Enjoyed the easy flow of the conversation .. Of course Randy never fails to deliver on personality and style ... You have been in this game for a while now and yet you stepped up your game ... Excellent work..... PS ..tell Randy we want to see this plane demoed with the intended big engine he has optioned for it ..the Titan 340 .
Dan, Very well done sir!! Your video was very well done !! You gave us plenty of interesting information about the Rans S-21!! It looked like you were very comfortable on the stick for just getting in it!! Obviously not your first rodeo of coarse!! Thanks for taking us with you!! Happy flying!!
Like it; want to understand what more powerful engines can produce at cruise settings at 10k MSL; also would like to see a video of a walk around/talk around the aircraft explaining the different design features (e.g., why this design choice, ruggedness, et.al.) - a real work out of a presentation to offer more depth. Nonetheless, I like what I'm seeing so far and appreciate making this material available
I think the stall technique the pilot is speaking of is stalling the aircraft with zero sink rate at the point of stall vs the older standard practice of just slowly losing speed and allowing a descent to begin to occur as indicated on the VSI. The pilot explained that allowing a descent to occur as the stall occurs actually becomes a small accelerated stall due to inertia from descending. And thus a slightly higher stall speed.
I agree with James .. the stall they were after was maintaining exact altitude , zero sink rate to the moment of stall ... as opposed to a slowing and sinking airplane at moment of stall ... the former stalls at a slower speed than the later
Its about $35,000 for the kit .. $20,000 for engine .. $2,000.00 for prop and maybe $5,000.00 for the panel ........ and then you build , build , build
@@markdoan1472 thank you. Looking at Rans' documentation, it is a little hard to figure the total cost out. How long, really, does it take to build one? The Rans' site says 500-550, I think.

That was the best demo video that I have seen you do. Thank you very much, glad to be a member for all you do for the sport...

Both you and Randy are real down to earth guys!
This is an impressively large airplane... And I don't think I could build one without a builder assist program in Kansas.
Great video and informative description of the stall methods
Impressive aircraft!
Nice plane, excellent quality video and sound!
So did the plane get off the ground faster on the second take off? Great video of the s21!

Great video!
I didn't quite understand the difference in techniques for the stall, could you please explain? 11:30

Heard that thing is getting that 180hp 340 cu in at some point. That’s gonna be a little rocket ship.
More power = added structural adjustments.
Wonder if there's room under the hood for a 390. Really like that plane.
Just needs shock monster suspension,and it would be the perfect plane for me. Nice machine..........Thanks Randy
What's the purpose of what looks like a strip of black non-skid tape on the underside of the wing strut?
It mitigates aeroelastic flutter issues with the struts. Last I heard they were looking for a more permanent solution.
Had the same question. I assumed it acted like a turbulator to keep the air attached smoothly to the strut.
@@ferstlesque Thanks. I had no idea that flutter could be an issue on a wing strut.
Is this one running a 912 or titan?
It was powered by a 912 - 100 HP engine.
The Ultralight Flyer.
Okay, here's the "Dirty ??'s"...As she sits, how much....??/..whats the "damage to the bank acct..???
