I'm considering a skyranger aircraft. There are a few here in Australia but I've to be able to contact any owners.
Anyone had any experiences in the building or flying /owning one?

Thanks,
Mike

I don't own but I fly my brother's SkyRanger. He has the Rotax ULS 100 hp on it. I really like the airplane. It has a real short takeoff run. 200 feet solo 300 dual. Will do 100 mph in cruise. We normally fly it around 80 because we are just boring holes in the air. We did a short cross country at 100 and the GPS agreed with the airspeed pretty close. The windshield was not sealed and was cold and noisy. He bought some fairings from a guy in the UK that fixed that. Hope this helps.
