Taildragger GEAR OPTION. The taildragger option is justified primarily for use with skis, on snow in the mountains almost exclusively. Remember that devices with conventional gear require dexterity and specific training. but what a retro look! The kit fits all models after 2000, it consists of welded steel tubes with damping bungees on the main gear and tail wheel to a steel blade.

BUSH WHEEL OPTION. The optional BUSH wheel on the main landing gear is recommended for use on unpaved strips, grass, mountains, etc. .. raids The wheel bush on the nose is not necessary because the weight is minimal on this GEAR plus the induced drag on the nose wheel equipped with bush is very important.

Airframe options

First, choose the standard Skyranger VFUN , or VMAX for all extreme use or the all-new skyranger swift The Swift is ideally mated to the 80/ 100Hp Rotax 912S engine, and gives an improved ride in turbulence at the higher cruise speeds associated with the more powerful engine, as well as an incredibly nimble roll rate.
ALL kits include engine mount , rubbers and engine mount bolts

Engine options

The Skyranger is available with the main following serial engine options in main countries:

• Rotax 582
• HKS 700 E
• Jabiru 2200
• Rotax 912
• Rotax 912S

Engine installation kits (according country):

The engine installation kits contain all the necessary parts to mate the bare engine to the Skyranger airframe. This includes all fuel lines, T pieces, pipe clips, brackets for water radiators, oil tanks, coolers, wiring loom and connectors, choke and throttle cables and brackets, battery, and all associated hardware.
This enables you to install your engine without having the chore of sourcing all those fiddly hard to find small components.

Propeller options:

Main props can be mount on skyranger, it depends locals homologations, see with your local importer
See our shop for main choice.

Exhaust and cabin heat options :

Standard supply for the 912 engine is a specially fabricated exhaust system made by CKT engineering. This system is stainless steel with an oval cross section silencer box that then permits the use of an optional aluminium wrap heater manifold. Air is ducted in via a glassfibre scoop to pass through this via a flap valve into the cockpit. Very civilised for winter flying!
The Jabiru installation can also be supplied with an optional heater kit, which also takes hot air from around the standard exhaust.

Carburettor heat options :

According local homologations and importers.
We can supply with basic electric heat option.
The Jabiru which is air cooled, uses a traditional hot air system with air ducted around the exhaust through a airbox with flapper valve into the carb air intake. The air is switched by the pilot from cold to hot by means of a plunger control in the cockpit.

Wing covering ("X-Lam")

The SkyRanger comes as standard with a Dacron covering, in a variety of colours.
We strongly recommend to paint the covering, in order to improve its resistance to Ultra-Violet degredation and reduce porosity.
If you chose colored Dacron, a transparent, clear painting is enough and easy to do.
If you want better uv protection you can choose white cloth and then paint with color you want
However, the SkyRanger is now available with an optional improved covering called "X-Lam", with a trilaminate structure and central polyester scrim. This covering boasts zero porosity, superior tear resistance and ease of cleaning, and up to 3 times the UV resistance of untreated Dacron. It also has a major benefit over lacquered Dacron, in that it can still be easily removed from the aircraft for minor repairs, and yet is still slightly lighter than lacquered Dacron. Currently, X-Lam is only available in red & white fabrics, enabling all white, all red or a mixture of colours. X-Lam can also be personalised using self-adhesive vinyl stripes or graphics.
Y ou can also use shrinkable cloth like robin or piper planes and paint it to have great and long protection ( extreme uses)

Wheel spats These have the following advantages: They improve the aerodynamics making the aircraft a little faster and more efficient. They prevent mud and debris being thrown up by the wheels and help keep the airframe clean. They look good! The Skyranger wheel spat option includes glassfibre wheel spats for all three wheels and all associated brackets and hardware to fit them. Like all the glassfibre on the Skyranger they are supplied in white gelcoat finish, but may be painted any colour as desired during your build.

Wingtip fairings

These consist of glassfibre mouldings that neaten the end of the wing. Primarily cosmetic they also have the advantage of taking the first brunt of any hangar rash and protect the fabric, in this most popular part of any aeroplane to hit the hanger wall / door.

Tinted screen

The standard supply for Skyranger vfun glazing is clear Lexan sheet.
All other version are with a tint. This is useful to minimise the suns glare. It has the added advantage of making the aircraft aesthetically more appealing.

Luggage hammock (serial)

This is a fabric baggage compartment with a hard floor. It positions behind the crew compartment above the fuel tanks and is accessed through a long curved zip.
The luggage bag is approved to safely carry loads up to 10Kg and has a large volume making it ideal for carrying touring items, such as clothing, sleeping bags etc.
A real must-have for those who intend long distance trips in their Skyranger!

Two piece door

The standard supply for the Skyranger kit is one piece doors which are top hinged and swing outwards for access. A popular option is the two piece door upgrade.
This consists of an upper half door which hinges upwards and can be latched open to the undersurface of the wing. The lower half hinges on its front edge and opens forwards in much the same manner as a car door.
The two piece arrangement allows greater curvature in the doors resulting in an additional 50mm of cockpit width across the shoulders.
The other advantage of the two piece doors is that the top sections can be left open in operation either on the ground or in the air. This is very nice to let fresh air in when taxying on warm days, and allows for unobstructed aerial photography, or just that ‘flying with the wind in your face' experience!
