RV-6
I had to sell my Rocket Kit when I lost my job due to cut backs and restructering of the company. I'm sure there are several people in these forums that know what that is like. I found a tail and wing kit untouched for a great deal so I bought them. I vowed that I would make my next 6 better than the last one (which was a 9/10 on my rating scale). I have purchased lots of new-used parts that have saved a ton of money. So far I am a little over the 50K mark and I have a brand new engine ECI 180+ hp, 300 hr BA prop, new avionics, 4-1 exhaust, SJ cowling/plenum, custom panel, larger tanks, heavier one piece wing skins ....ect. On my last project I was over 85K at this point. It goes to show you how much stuff has come down in price with the newer tech-especially the engines. I had 27K into my REBUILT engine. This was before all of the experimental stuff was out yet. Hopefully I can get this thing out the door for about 65K looking good and going faster than the last one by about 15mph if the speed mods work.
JonJay- I live about 3 miles from Sequim Valley airport. You should fly up sometime and vist. See if you can get Bill to go as well. I can't talk him off that RV-10 kit he's working on. Sequim is usually clear when everything else is socked in. That's why they call it the Blue Hole. How's the -3 project coming?
Talk with you soon.
