Dee Gilliland's S-6S Dee Gilliland, Brandon, MS, 39047: I completed my S-6s Coyote II kit in late November 2006, and got the airworthiness issued on December 16, 2006 for N612DG. Ronny Smith, SMLA, picked up my kit in Hays and delivered it to my shop in October, 2005. It took me about 800 hours to build. I have the 116 Speed Wing with a 100HP Rotax 912s and the Sensenich propeller provided in the kit. I climb at 1200 ft/min at gross and get 122 mph TAS at max cruise. Stall performance is about 10mph better because I installed vortex generators. This Super-Six is an excellent performer with smooth controls and no bad flight characteristics. I added sound insulation in the cabin; and I modified the doors, door latches, and seals to make it ultra quiet inside the cockpit. My instrument panel includes a Dynon EFIS, Becker radio and transponder, and a Garmin 396 with weather. My wife, Betty, loves the side-by-side seating. Performance is excellent.
