From: Carroll Jernigan Dave 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.

From: "PatrickW" 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. -------- Patrick Hoyt XLb/650 Canopy/BRS/Corvair N63PZ - 99.999% done....
