Why so many for sale??

I did a quick check on Barnstormers for anything Vans and I would say 90% of the flyable planes for sale were the 6's. A few 8's and 4's but mostly 6's. Why is that?

Maybe they have seen the light and need to build a 7.... LOL

RV First Flights - Current as of 3 Apr 06.

RV-3 - 222
RV-4 - 1183
RV-6/6A - 2035
RV-7/7A - 286
RV-8/8A - 592
RV-9/9A - 205
RV-10 - 31

Proportionally, -6s are the large majority of the fleet, so it would make sense that those would be the bulk of the ads. Nearly 10x as many as 7s, double the 4s, and 4 times the 8s.

Build a 7? Why would anyone build a 7? I was under the impression that they built themselves...

Jeff:

You don't know what you're talking about! You must supervise the 7 as they build themselves!

(Well, except for those pesky fuel lines on the A)

The RV10 almost builds itself. Prepunched holes, the easy to follow instruction book....what more could you ask for?

Well. Makes sense to me, now.
Thanks. David
