| Subject: | For Sale: RV-9A Tail and Wing Kits |
For sale:
1 completed RV-9A tail kit (+ electric trim and white tail position light)
1 Partially completed RV-9A wing kit (flaps and ailerons done, initial spar
work)
Salt Lake City, UT area
Asking price: $1700 for tail, electric trim and light, $5900 for wing kit
(about 10% off Van's list price - see below).
$7500 for both.
I've posted pictures here: http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn277/rvator/
The tail kit includes the electric trim option and white tail position light
(installed, but not wired). Internal structures have been primed with AFS
white primer. All fiberglass has been done and attached.
The wing kit has had the flaps and ailerons completed, also internally
primed with AFS white primer (including skins). Flaps and ailerons are very
straight due to using a polished angle-iron jig to do the riveting. The
main spar has been started, with counter-sinking and plate-nuts done, plus
the tie-down brackets.
Workmanship: before starting I took a class put on by local RV builders on
doing metal aircraft construction (we built the Vans practice kit). I've
had many years of doing other "handyman" work including woodworking, and
have built at least 10 radio control RC planes. So I would consider the
workmanship to be solid.
Why am I selling? After 4 years of intermittant work, I've finally admitted
to myself that I have too many other projects and priorities to be able to
finish this in a reasonable amount of time (ETA given current rate of
construction: 2032!). I would love to finish, but I think it would be
better to pick it up again when I am closer to retirement and have fewer
family responsibilities. Also, some good rental planes have come on line
locally since I started building that can satisfy my flying urge for the
time being (Diamond DA-40 - at least it has a stick! :-)).
Here's a chance to get a jump on a significant amount of work and save some
money to boot. Plus you can avoid the 8 weeks lead time on Van's wing kit.
Current Van's prices (not including crating/shipping):
- tail kit: $1600
- electric trim: $305
- tail position light: $80
- Wing kit: $6455
Shipping: I am willing to deliver within about 300 miles of SLC, UT.
Otherwise, we will have to arrange for shipping and the buyer will pay
actual costs.
I am willing to sell the tail and wing kits seperately if there is interest.
Please e-mail me at rvator@lindonnet.com with any questions. Once we
establish contact I can give you a phone number to call me if you would like
to talk in person. I can also post additional pictures if you would like a
closer look at any particular area.
Thanks for looking!
