Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2009 5:20 pm Post subject: RV6A Project Resurrected

Hi everybody, I'm restarting an RV6A kit and would like to say hello. I was hoping to hang out here and ask questions from time to time. I was a part of this list many years ago and found it very helpful.

I purchased my slow build from Van in 1996 and worked hard for about 5 years 2300 hours. I got to the finishing kit then moved into a house with not enough room. I spent years arguing with my city to allow a big garage extension and then over a year building. I've now built shelves for everything and have unpacked all my old building stuff. I'm ready to get back to building.

I have always planned to get my engine from Bart at Aerosport Power. I would like the latest version of a fuel injected dual alternator CS engine that will mount a Sam James cowl and Vetterman exhaust with mufflers. Propeller selection might be more towards quiet and smooth over pure speed. I want to be quiet. I should ready to get the engine within the next year.

I will probably head for Langley Airport when I am ready to fly. Does anyone know what the going price of a hanger there these days? Lease, purchase or rent?

Norman,

  

 You've described my airplane....except I have a  slider.....

  

 AerosportPower IO360B1F6 with 9.2:1 pistons, LASAR Ignition,  AFP injection, Vetterman Dual crossover heater muffflers, SJ cowl/plenum, dual  alternators (both B&C), and MT 3 blade (quiet/smoooooth).

  

 Sorry, can't help with the hangar - but I can give you my  stories of all of the above.....

  

 I'm in Laurel, DE...USA - other side of the continent (I'm  guessing you're in British Columbia?!)

Welcome back Norman. There are still a few of us from that era  left on the list. The traffic has certainly died down as the snap together kits  have come to prominence but there are still slow builders out there chipping  away at their projects.

I have a RV-7A lanquishing in my shop, right  now.  I did get my -6A flying in 1999.  It only took about 7.5  years.    I know how it is.

Let me forward my "Welcome Back" as well.  I bought my kit in April of 

'97 and am working on the tip-up roll bar now.  Progress is very slow 

and I got for months at a time without even touching it.  I try to keep 

up with the various aspects of the RV world via this message board (and 

others) so it's good to see your name on the list again.
