I briefly offered my 601XL for sale earlier this year and reached the concl
usion that there is not much of an experimental aircraft market right now.
The big problems I encountered were- "Corvair Engine huh, that's the one th
at breaks cranks right?" and "Zenith huh, is that the one that the wings fa
ll off?"
I finally decided to keep the plane and sell some of my other toys instead.
The boats already gone but could I interest you in a nice Harley?
When I sold my RV7A several years ago I did it by going to every air show,
fly in breakfast and EAA meeting I could find. I finally sold it at an ultr
alite fly-in. You can sell it but it will take patience and an awareness th
at you are probably going to lose money on the sale.
Good luck.

Has ANYONE sold a 601XL or 601XLB in the last year??? I've had my plane f
or sale for most of the year. I keep lowering the price. I don't want to
GIVE it away....but I'm beginning to think I might HAVE TO!!!
Feel free to write me on or off-list.

Have you considered parting it out? That would also free you from future liability
worries.
My gut feeling is that the "firewall forward" would be easier to sell than the
"firewall aft". There is a pretty dedicated following of the Corvair engine among
the experimental guys. A close friend of mine just bought a Corvair engine
and a bunch of WW stuff from a guy who had given up on his project (due to a
divorce).
One other thing - without knowing your situation, I do know of one guy who lost
his job and put his XL up for sale. He couldn't sell it, and when he got another
job he took it off the market and is flying it now. He said he's glad it
didn't sell.
Good luck.
