Hey everyone,
Since one of my new years resolutions is to purchase an airplane I have my eye on a lightly equiped RV-6a. I'm hoping to spend $40-50k.
Since most of these aircraft in this price range seem to have rather gnarly panel and interior layouts I'd like to do some upgrades after I buy it.
I'd like to put in a full classic aero interior and redo the panel keeping most of avionics the same but install them in a new sheet metal panel. I'd also like to precut a hole and prewire for a G430 in the future. I also want to install an "boeing style" center throttle quarant if I can find one(can anyone point me in the right direction here).
Does anyone have experience doing this sort of upgrade and can you give me an idea of how much time, sweat, and money something like this would cost. I would do most of the work myself but under the supervision of an A&P. I feel like this would be a great time to learn about my new plane after I buy it.
I have a photo on my computer i'm using for inspiration but I can't figure out how to attach it.
Thanks
