Guys-
We lost an RV6 and two souls a few months back in Cottonwood, AZ. Below is the RV8 Paul was building. I don't know any of these people but become sad when anyone is harmed by what we love to do.
Help find a good home for this aircraft. If I can assist with inspections or arrangements let me know.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This RV8 was being built by a friend of my brother Ron in Cottonwood, Az. Ron's friend, Paul Haynie, was a long time commercial pilot and CFII who died as a result of a plane crash a couple of months ago. His widow has asked Ron to sell the mostly completed kit.
It is an RV8 tail dragger. I have inspected this plane and the workmanship is flawless. Paul was even more of a stickler for details in construction than Ron, and those of you who have seen Ron's RV7a would understand the significance of this endorsement.
It needs an engine, prop, instruments, interior, and someone who appreciates craftmanship. If I had taildragger time and enough room in my hangar I would buy it to finish and show.
If you or anyone you know wants a two year head start on an RV8 call Ron direct (tele # below).
> RV8 project for sale. Empennage kit ordered 09/06, Quick Build wings &
| Quote: | fuselage ordered 08/07 and Finish kit 07/08.
Empennage complete including all tips and transition fairing. Tail
strobe/light installed. Elevator trim installed. Empennage has been fitted
to fuselage.
Quick Build Wings are complete. Wiring and pitot tube installed. Push
tubes have been fitted and installed. Wing tips have been
fitted and are completed including navigation lights, strobes and
landing/taxi lights installed.
Quick Build Fuselage is about 80% finished. Brake/rudder pedals are
installed, brake lines and fuel lines installed and wings have been fitted.
Whelen power supply has been mounted and floorboards are in place. Canopy
frame has been fitted and mounted to fuselage. Canopy has been fitted to
frame and match drilled. Canopy skirt has been fitted to canopy/fuselage.
Windshield has been fitted to rollbar/fuselage. Baggage door and seats are
finished. Aileron trim is installed. Cockpit has been painted with epoxy
paint in light gray (the same color as van's powder coated parts).
All parts have been primed with S.W. wash primer.
The workmanship on this aircraft is as good as I have ever seen and I am
very picky.
The cost of the above kits and extra parts is well over $31,000 plus a 6 to 8
month order back log from Van's. Over 1500 hours of very meticulous labor
have been put into this project and can be purchased for $31,000. You could
be flying this RV-8 in six months.
This aircraft is in Cottonwood, Arizona and would have to be picked up
there.
If interested please contact Ron Burden, 928-649-2717 or 928-300-1448
