 |
|
I have an RV-6A kit partially assembled. The tail feathers are done
except for fiberglass. Wings are almost ready to cover. I have the
fuse kit but have done almost nothing with it. Total invested is
roughly $8k - $9k. Everything purchased for it was purchased between
1994 and 1998. I'd love to get $6k for what I have but would
consider serious offers less than that.
Craftsmanship is what I'd call "average". This is my first project
remotely of this type, and there are imperfections. Construction has
been inspected by Tom Berge and he hasn't said, "What the heck do you
think you're doing building an airplane?" I'll share the
imperfections I know about with an interested buyer. Neither Tom nor
Vans have said the mistakes I've made are horrendous or compromise
the safety of the completed aircraft.
Everything is in my heated garage in St. Paul, Minnesota. I could
arrange shipping, but I don't even know what that would cost. I can
arrange inspections at your convenience. If coming to my home is
difficult, I can take a lot of photos or even do a video tour online.
I'm selling for a variety of reasons. Mostly, I want to start over
with a -7A. I'm not a fast builder, and I think I could get in the
air a lot faster if I started over on a -7A than if I continue with
what I have. If I don't get any buyers, I'll continue plugging along
with what I have. I have too much invested to just walk away from
it, and I definitely intend to get an RV into the air. But if
someone else can pick up from where I left off and I can recoup some
of my investment, then switching to a -7A is the right choice for me.
If you're looking to get into the air fast, I think you're better off
with a modern kit. Similarly, if you have exacting standards and
aren't prepared to fix the mistakes I've made, this isn't the buy for
you.
But if you would like to get a the first 3 subkits of a -6A for less
than the 10-year-old price I paid, this might be a good opportunity.
