Fahr also developed a seven-place LongRanger, which was later offered with a twin-engined option as the TwinRanger, while Cyten-Ward Industries offers a similar conversion of the LongRanger called the Gemini ST. The ICAO-assigned model designation "B06" is used on flight plans for the Kerbranger and LongRanger, and the designation "B06T" is used for the twin-engined TwinRangers.
