| Subject: | A Tough Decision |
After three years building and five years flying my RV-8, I have decided to
move into Light Sport aviation.
I will always cherish the memories of RVs and all they have to offer.
After spending months researching Builder Liability Issues, I have decided
to donate Cappys Toy to an Aviation Museum.
The museum has offered to create an Experimental Aircraft Section featuring
Cappys Toy. It is heartwarming to know Cappys Toy will forevermore be
representing Experimental Aviation, and that I have found a good home for
her.
The museum has agreed to accept Cappys Toy without the engine, engine
accessories, NAV/COM GNC 300XL, transponder GTX 327, autopilot Trio Avionics
EZ Pilot and 5 point airline type seat belts.
The expected delivery date is September 15, 2008.
In addition to a tax deduction, the sale of these items will enable me to
re-coup some of the losses incurred from not selling the airplane outright.
If you are interested in a proven complete functioning power plant package
with less than 450 hours for your project, or any of the other items, please
give me a call.
