 – Ted Venter – Building a RANS S21 Airplane –

Our speaker, Ted Venter, will share his journey in building a RANS S21 airplane, which is nearing completion and preparing for its first flight.

Ted is a long time member of EAA, and has held his Private Pilots License since 1978.  Early in his flying days, Ted intended to pursue a career as a professional pilot.  During the process of working toward this dream, success in a non aviation field took him in another direction.  He purchased a RANS S21 kit plane soon after retirement.  After 5 years, his is almost finished with the build.

Ted started documenting his build through a YouTube channel (Tree Top Flight) www..youtube.com/@treetopflight7624  and has over 70 episodes created.
He still needs his tail wheel endorsement, and plans to achieve that in the next 60 days.
His mission in this plane is a lot of back country flying, but not STOL specific.
