A few questions........!

Post by RobDob »

Hi all

Not sure if this is the best section but here goes!

I currently live in Qatar and have been talking to the Authority here regarding conversion of my UK licence, in speaking to the head of flight crew licensing it turns out he is very keen in purchasing an RV7A. When I spoke to him about my 8' build the questions came thick & fast!!

Anyhow, he has been looking on Trade-a-Plane & Controller to try & find a machine. Are these the best sites to look or are there better ones?

Does anyone know of an RV7A for sale? He is keen to start aerobatics too so is interested in the potential for fitting an inverted oil system at some point.

He will also be visiting the US in the next few weeks so, when I know exactly where, should any of you guys be close by could you offer a ride for gas money?

The plan is, subject to finding the right airplane, have it shipped to Qatar. If anyone has any tips or advice on finding an RV7A and exporting aircraft from the US I'd be very grateful to hear from you!!

Many thanks and best regards

Hi Bob; thanks for the post. I found out this morning that he's bought a Slingsby Firefly instead! Luckily its the 260 so has a bit of 'oomph'!
