What New For 2010 at RANS
The 2010 RANS aircraft kits will feature a few changes to accommodate the ever-changing avionics/instruments, and measures to increase value and not increase prices. Here is a detailed listing of the changes and which models are affected:
Gauges Removed
With the onslaught of the digital age, we are constantly asked to omit the gauges from the kits and apply credit. All gauges of all types are now omitted from the all the kits. We will continue to stock any gauge we use in our certified aircraft production. These will be available through our parts department, and will feature custom silkscreen range markings. Sourcing information will be provided in the manuals.
Battery Not Included
The battery has been an issue for some builders. Long-term storage requires a trickle charger, so ultimately it is best to simply buy the battery closer to the time of install. The battery will be available from our parts department. We will continue supplying the battery box for each model.

S-19 Tail Cone Close Out
With the additional color choice for the interior kit, we are non longer providing the S-3 tail cone close out as standard. It must be ordered as a separate option. The reason for this is to make sure the color will match the interior kits. We recommend ordering the Close-out with the Canopy Engine Install Kit.

Value Items
As many know we are famous for giving maximum value for the dollar in our kits. To up hold this ideal we are providing:

1. Pre-fabricated Battery Cables: Cut to the right length and crimped with the proper end fittings, the battery cables come ready to go, and offer the correct wire sizing, for the given length and the fittings are installed with the proper tooling, to make a long term cable.

2. ACS starter/ignition: The ACS switch replaces 1the dual magneto switches and key starter switch. It is also a certified airplane ignition switch we use in all our production planes. The switched provided also come with a lock cylinder, and will be providing instructions on how to make you plane lockable.

3. Strobe Mounts: All planes with the exception of the S-12XL will come standard with the strobe mount. It is universal enough that most brands will work with modification. We will stock and sell in our parts department the same strobe systems used on production planes.
