A Vashon Aircraft Ranger R7 flies about 501 nm, roughly 928 km, which is about 4 h 17 min in still air at typical cruise.
A Vashon Aircraft Ranger R7 costs about EUR 1,236 a month to run, or about EUR 152 for every flight hour when it is flown 150 hours a year.
The Vashon Aircraft Ranger R7 is a two seat, all metal special light sport aircraft built by Vashon Aircraft in Washington state. The type was introduced in 2018 and remains associated with the modern LSA category: simple ownership, modest fuel burn and contemporary avionics in a factory built airframe. It is aimed at private flying, flight training and recreational touring, with a high wing layout, tricycle landing gear and a structure designed for durability rather than minimum weight alone. For buyers, the Ranger R7 matters because it combines a certificated SLSA framework with many components and systems familiar from newer experimental and light sport aircraft.
Typical performance centers on the 100 hp Rotax 912 iS Sport, a fuel injected, liquid and air cooled four cylinder engine widely used in light sport aircraft. The Ranger R7 operates at the 1,320 lb LSA maximum gross weight, with a useful load commonly quoted around 490 lb, depending on equipment. Cruise speed is typically around 110 knots, with maximum level speed limited by the LSA rules. Published range is commonly listed at about 500 nautical miles with reserves, subject to power setting, fuel load and payload. The aircraft has a service ceiling of about 13,500 feet and is designed for day or night VFR operation when properly equipped.
The cabin seats two side by side, with doors on both sides, good outward visibility and baggage space behind the seats. The high wing and relatively wide cabin make it practical for training and local flying, while the control layout remains simple and conventional. Unlike many legacy trainers, the Ranger R7 was designed around glass avionics from the start. Typical factory equipment includes a Dynon SkyView HDX panel, often with dual displays, integrated engine monitoring, ADS B capability, radio, transponder and autopilot options. Garmin Perspective and Garmin G1000 are not typical Ranger R7 installations.
Used Ranger R7 examples are usually newer airframes, so condition varies more by utilization, training history and maintenance quality than by age alone. Buyers should review Rotax service compliance, gearbox and rubber component intervals, avionics software status, logbook continuity, accident history and any school use. Common value drivers include dual Dynon displays, autopilot, night VFR equipment, ADS B In, paint condition and remaining engine time. In the used market, the Vashon Aircraft Ranger R7 typically sits as a modern LSA alternative to older two seat trainers and composite LSAs, with emphasis on low operating cost, metal construction and current avionics.
