Model History
The RANS S-10 Sakota is a two-seat, side-by-
side aerobatic sport aircraft designed by
Randy Schlitter of RANS Inc. in the late
1980s. Intended for homebuilding, it features
a welded steel frame with fabric covering and
is often powered by Rotax engines. The name
"Sakota" reflects its dual role as a sports and
trainer aircraft. It became popular for its
affordability, aerobatic capability, and ease of
construction. Though no longer in production,
it remains respected among kit builders and
sport pilots.
