I came across an rv6a kit for sale.

The kit is about 1000 miles away from me.

Before I spend the time going to check it out

for purchase, I'd like to know if it could be

a complete kit.



This link points to a page that has an inventory list

and several pictures on the crates:

The latest shipping info on Van's website

indicates that there may have been more crates.



Based on what you see, could it be a complete kit?

Or has the finishing kit crate gone away?



Thanks, Joe

Nope!  It will be a three crate kit as the canoopy and stuff will be a

crate by itself.  There are some guys who will move it if it is in a

crate and its reasonable.  Check the web sites.

No.  You are probably right.  The finish kit was huge, and included  

the engine mount, canopy and other bulky items.



There is at least one crate missing.  My dim recollection from long  

ago was that one of the kits had two crates.  So the total would be  

five crates.  Very imprecise memory.  About that time (1995) they  

started shipping tail kits in a carboard box instead of a wood crate.

As I recall C my RV-6A came like this E 6nbsp;1 relatively 6nbsp;small crate with the tail 6nbsp; in it E E2 large crates containing the fuselage and the wings (before pre punched kits about 10 to 12 feet long 4 feet wide and around 12/15 inches thick) Much later the finishing kit E E ELarge crate C cowling may have been in crate with canopy E E EWheel pants and assorted fiberglass fairings 6nbsp;probably in a crate of their own along with the gear and engine mount E My spars weren 7t pre-fabricated so I can 7t comment on the crating for them E

 Bear in mind I received 6nbsp;the original crates in 1994 and the finishing 6nbsp;kits in 1998 so my memory is a bit hazy E Irrigardless 6nbsp;the boxes shown don 7t appear to be large enough or numerous enough to hold an RV-6A E
