Do it
Depending on the cost you are spending, in general RV-3s are selling for not much more than the engine/prop is worth. That being said, in the last year I have helped two friends buy RV-3s because it was the proper airplane for their ?mission? after some careful soul searching. And all I can assure you is this, the smiles per hour are worth whatever small loss you may have when it is your time to sell. Ferrying home to the new owner his ?new? RV-3 after doing the pre-buy made me realize why Richard Van himself always said the RV-3 is his best flying aircraft, then the RV-4. You don?t get in it, you put it on and you get that Walter Mitty moment on every flight. But, it is a single seater. And that is it?s best attribute, just you and your plane, because it?s a single seater👍👍👍
