I brought the RANS kit home from Hays, Kansas, on September 19, 2005, and received the Airworthiness Certificate on May 13, 2007. I would like to thank Ed and Steve at RANS. Also thanks to my tech counselor, A. J. Smith, and the members of EAA Chapter 804 for their support and encouragement. A special thank you to my wife for her help and patience in making a dream come true. The airplane flies great and currently has 24.5 hours with no problems. Thank you Randy and Paula for a great design and a great kit. I would like to hear from other RANS builders.">
