NICE Plane,... was looking at one on Craigs List but it had the small engine... BAH HUMBUG .... on the other side of that it was flying with a couple hundred hours max............ I want a Nice D.R. Chinook .. looking for that too, sure hope you are flying this one..... I know I would be.😎
I've flown one of these here in South Africa many years ago and I absolutely loved it. I've always wanted an S12, but it was out of my price range. Lovely aircraft. Enjoy it.
Did you end up finishing this plane? I have a guy in FL wanting to trade me one with a 912ULS never got an N Number so getting my bearings on what I need to do.
I'm currently in the middle of rebuilding N24016 - Same model except with the 100HP 912ULS. I messaged that guy in FL, and he wouldn't answer any questions about it, so I would either avoid it or offer 1/2 what he's wanting. Anyone who won't answer questions is trying to hide something. The only way to make that one legal is to bust it into pieces and start a build log from scratch. It's not worth the effort.
Beautiful plane! Congratulations! I just got a used one but haven't been able to install the wings and struts because previous owner didn't have the bolts and nuts... if you don't mind helping me out with the information i will appreciate it very much! Just need to know diameter of those leading and trailing edge bolts, and also the struts bolts 🙏 thank you in advance
The red one is last in line of the S12s. Currently working on getting the black & yellow one airworthy. Just yesterday I picked up the windows from the c&c shop which has been the hood up. Finding tinted lexan was the issue. I now have a source going forward. So with lexan on hand, I’m going to replace the fuel lines in the wings and get those ready to install once the aft windows are installed. Only hold up then would be dependent upon my urge to install fuel level sending units in the tanks since the wings are off..

Yeah the 912 is a great engine on these. Plenty of power to spare. Good luck on your search!

Thank you!
Gorgeous - what a fantastic find! I guess what will be interesting (for some,) is having to work round any spares issues, especially long term.
What do you mean by spares?
@@toyotadiesel Parts that aren't made anymore.
That’s valid. Between Rans, third party, and plenty of used ones out there it’s not a major concern.

Do you have the build manuals?
@@toyotadiesel no I don’t … I’ve been surfing the web looking for it but nothing 😕
@@Aerodigitales send me your email I'll send you the pdf books.
Happy Holidays I see it’s been a full year now. Would you have any interest in selling your Rans? Thank you
The one in this video is still waiting it's turn in line. I do have a 100hp XL model that will be for sale possibly this year.
Please keep me in mind. I would be very interested. Thanks
I’d send my number but I don’t know how to keep it private??
@@goinhot1 As that plane nears completion you'll start seeing videos here.
Are there any updates on the building of the S-12?
