The design goal of the S-6S was to create a fast build
kit plane with traditional aircraft fabric covering. The
basic airframe is based off the successful S-6ES.
In the tradition of the ES series most parts are preformed
and pre-finished. Typically on fabric planes, the inside is
painted or covered with fabric. |

Many hours of tedious labor is
saved with the use of a molded interior kit. Final assembly
can begin once inventory and inspection is complete. Only
the outside of the plane and the instrument panel require
painting. Even the panel can be ordered powder coated.
A Super Six can be built in the confines of an average
garage using normal shop tools and skills. The Super Six is
an excellent project for the first-time builder wanting the
challenge of traditional aircraft fabric. Because of the
high level of "out of the box" finish and preparation, more
time can be spent on the details resulting in a highly
professional finish with performance to match. The new sport
wing offers great performance in both STOL and cruise
speeds. At 30?4? span and a slight taper the handling is
with little adverse yaw and snappy role rate. The sport wing
will function well on floats and at high altitude. The
advanced construction of the sport wing also allows a very
precise shape airfoil in short build times.With the
standard wing the stock 80 HP Rotax 912 UL engine cruise
speeds are in excess of a 100 mph. Fuel burn rates of less
than 5 gallons per hour common. The 100 HP ups the cruise a
few MPH, with a large increase in climb, all at a small
increase in fuel burn. Overhaul times as high as 2000 hours
have been reported by operators.
