Default Any banks that will finance a flying Vans aircraft?

Did some searching online and the only two places I've found that finance an already built RV is NAFCO and Wings Financial. Are these really the only two options for someone who isn't ready to pay cash for an already built RV?

You might try First Priority Bank of Prior, OK. They financed my 1996 RV-4 when I sold it.

I used them as well for both a construction loan, and a loan once the plane was finished.

Default Try a local bank

Our local bank has been financing airplanes since I moved down here in 1971 and currently holds the paper on my Air Tractor 402....paid the -10 off last year with them as well.

Best,

Are you a member of a credit union? My employees' credit union financed my 1st RV-4. They just wanted an appraisal by an a/c appraiser, & proof of hull insurance. The rate was the same as they charged for 'the other RV' 's at the time.

BTW, the same thing applies to insurance. If you're having problems, check with the agent that wrote you for any certified planes you've owned. For a while on that -4, I used the same agent that insured my Luscombe.

Bank of America finances experimentals also. You can go through the AOPA or directly through BofA.
