Builder Spotlight: Mike's 220hp ULPower RANS S-21!

Today I use some recently-acquired backcountry training to visit a fellow RANS S-21 Outbound builder, Mike at Lakeside (9S3). He's been at this build a long time and is just waiting on his 220 horsepower UL520T from ULPower. He shows us some VERY useful tips to consider for our own builds. Once he's done, he plans on competing this monster bushplane in ArkanSTOL. Thank you so much for your wisom and graciousness, Mike!

Then we attempt a beach day at Gold Beach, however, mother nature has other plans for us. Great views of The Sisters (Cascades), Bandon Dunes, North Bend, and Newport Oregon.
