 |
|
Realized I wasn't going to complete my RV-6 project in a timely manner (before I died or became age impacted) - worked on it 10 years, Jan 1997 - now, July 2007) so, with wife's prodding, bought a flying RV-6 on 1 June 2007 and am flying - no longer building.
RV-6 project for sale - is a Quick Build kit:
- Empennage is complete. Fiberglass tips are cleco'd on - and fit perfectly (lot of work).
- Control stick and rudder pedals are installed (dual brakes) (rudder pedals not drilled into place, awaiting sitting and fitting for my 6'4" frame), and elevator pushtube and elevator trim are complete.
- Fuselage has top aft skin riveted on and skin from there fwd to aft canopy is drilled, primed, and ready for installation - after fit canopy.
- Whelen tail position light/strobe is installed in lower rudder fiberglass fairing and power supply is installed on small deck in front of Vertical Stab front spar - wires are all installed, with service loops, conduits, and connectors for easy replacement of light bulb assembly when needed. Power wire is run to cockpit.
- Seats, cockpit floors, and canopy rails are finished (but floors removed during other work)
- Canopy roll bar is installed.
- Canopy frame parts are finished and ready to be primed and riveted together - I plan to do this before selling project. Tip up canopy release mechanism is complete.
- Have not installed canopy glass or locking/latching components.
-QB wings have not been put on for sizing the aileron push tubes.
- Wings, ailerons, flaps, and all fiberglass fairings & everything else that came with Finish Kit and have been stored with NO hanger rash. Canopy plexi is still in Finish Kit box.
- Corrision control priming: All empennage and other parts I fabricated and installed have been corrosion control primed with Pratt and Lambert strontium chromate green primer after alodine prep.
- All work has been high quality, with careful, close coordination with Van's during construction.
- Not looking to make anything on my time and experience - that is mine to treasure for a lifetime.
- Have $22,524 invested for kits, shipping, position/strobe lights, and miscellaneious parts fasteners purchased along the way. I'm listing the Pacific Aero 5? point seat/shoulder harness separately as an option in addition to the $22,524.
. . . I was going to do a special engine mount and landing gear, so am not selling those componenets. They will cost you another approximately $450 each to buy standard items direct from Van's.
