FS: RV-14A Kit Package - Emp/QB Wing/QB Fuse + Thunderbolt IO-390-EXP + Hartzell Prop & Tools - Victoria, BC

VicVans

I'm New Here
Sponsor
Location: CYYJ - Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

INCLUDED:

- Standard Empennage kit with AeroLED LN-210 Suntail strobe / position - deburred only, otherwise unstarted
- QuickBuild Wing kit - unopened in original crate
- QuickBuild Fuselage kit - unopened in original crate
- Lycoming Thunderbolt YIO-390-EXP-119, red case / grey cylinders, dual E mags, acc pad - new in box, never uncrated/installed
- Hartzell C2YR-1BFP/F7497 74" aluminum 2-blade constant-speed prop - new in box

WHY I'M SELLING:
First child has arrived, and I am realizing that this project needs to go to a good home that can give it the time and attention that it deserves!

CONDITION:
All components are essentially new. The only work done is deburring on the empennage parts - nothing cut, drilled, or assembled beyond that. Engine and prop have never been uncrated. This is about as close to "order from Van's today" as a used kit gets, minus the half-year wait and minus today's pricing. Replacements for the critical laser cut parts are also included as per Vans recommendation.

PRICE: $149,500 OBO for the complete package (kit + engine + prop)

Replacement cost for these same items new from Van's/Lycoming/Hartzell today runs nearly $175,000, plus a 6+ - month wait on the QB wing and fuselage and 14 to 18 months for Lycoming. Here's the breakdown by component:

Standard Empennage Kit (deburred only) - new replacement value $8,400 - asking $3,900
QuickBuild Wing Kit (unopened) - new replacement value $28,300 - asking $24,900
QuickBuild Fuselage Kit (unopened) - new replacement value $35,500 - asking $31,100
Lycoming Thunderbolt IO-390-EXP (new in box) - new replacement value $83,725 - asking $79,100
Hartzell 74" aluminum 2-blade CS prop (new in box) - new replacement value $12,463 - asking $10,500
Full Tool set from Browns, plus DRDT 2 c-frame dimpler, pneumatic dimpler, and extra tungsten bars, new replacement value approx. $4,500 - asking (0$ with asking price offer on full package)
TOTAL - new replacement value $172,888 USD - asking $149,500 USD

(as taxes and duty has been paid for import into Canada this means that a Canadian buyer will save about $49,000 USD or $70k CAD and will avoid lead times, and extra shipping costs from the USA)

I'd prefer to sell as a package, but am open to discussing if you're a serious buyer with a specific need.

LOCATION: Victoria, BC (CYYJ). Buyer arranges shipping/pickup; freight quotes available on request for wing/fuse crates.
