Looking for a flying RV-6
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2013 9:48 pm
There were several for sale a few months ago but now that I have my cherokee sold there doesn't seem to be many available.
Just a few of my peferences:
0-320 160 HP 300-900 hrs SMOH
Slider
FP metal prop
Something besides military paint scheme
Of course I'm willing to accept something that doesn't meet these wants if the price is right.
I did run across one the other day that hasn't been offered for sale and called the owner since he doesn't fly it much any more. He was willing to sell but wanted what I thought was a perfect plane price.
The mechanic that has been keeping it up for years put me on to it saying it was not perfect but adequately built and a solid airplane. It could use a paint job (some places looked like they were painted on different days)
Owner did not het the builder logs when he bought it even though he bought it from the original builder.
A fellow RV'er said it was rough but his plane and the guys he flies with all have what I would call show quality planes. I thought it just needed a different paint job. The A&P says the rest is good.
