I'm New Here
Patron
Offered for sale is my 1997 RV-6A. I'm listing here before putting it on any of the aircraft marketplaces. This is a clean, honest, low-time VFR RV-6A that I purchased directly from the builder in 2018. I have full documentation including the build logs. Every mechanic who has worked on this aircraft has remarked that it is one of the best-built examples of an RV that they've encountered. I have made some upgrades over the years, including installing a uAvionix EchoUAT for ADSB In/Out, FlyLED triple spotlight landing and taxi lights, Anti-Splat Nose Job 2, and replaced the left magneto with a P-Mag for improved fuel efficiency and easier starting. The aircraft has always been hangared and is located at KPOU in New York State. Selling as I'm moving up to an RV-10 to accommodate the family. I have flown this aircraft across the country (Seattle to New York) and wouldn't hesitate to do so again tomorrow.

Asking $108k, serious inquiries only. I can potentially assist with delivery and training depending on buyer location.

CONDITION
Paint and interior are original. The interior is in good condition. The paint is presentable and intact overall but there are two areas with paint cracks with minor bare aluminum exposure that I want to disclose upfront: the upper surface of the port-side wing and aft of the starboard side canopy rail. These will eventually need attention.
