About the S6

The Rans S6 is an American amateur-built, single-engine, high-wing monoplane featuring a tractor configuration and two seats arranged for pilot and passenger. It is suited for recreational flying and is distributed in kit form for home construction or as a completed light-sport aircraft.

Rooted in earlier single-seat iterations created out of dissatisfaction with existing ultralight designs, the type evolved through successive models featuring welded steel cockpits and fabric-covered surfaces. Kits offer various landing gear choices including floats and skis, alongside multiple engine options. The design has achieved widespread popularity with customers globally, with numerous examples appearing on international registers and even completing transatlantic crossings.

S6 prices

Asking prices of those for sale now, US dollars

Asking prices for the 9 Rans S6 aircraft for sale with a price run from $1,069 to $55,000, with a median of $13,400. Half ask between $12,000 and $25,000.

{# the label links to these aircraft for sale, built in that span. On the label and not the count: the bands count every aircraft on the market (on_market) while the grid shows only those with a photo (live), so the count is not a promise of how many cards appear. A band cached before year_min existed renders as plain text rather than a link to an unfiltered list. #}
