Rans S-16 Shekari


Build fast and fly fast, the S-16 has
the quick build built in. The outcome is a precise, built to
last aircraft. The metal wings and control surfaces come
pre-formed with most all holes pilot drilled. The sleek
fuselage assembles from our four molded shells attached to a welded
steel cockpit cage for extra accurate construction and crew
protection. To fly the Shekari is to experience sweet control
harmony and comforting stability coupled with aerobatic prowess.
