Hi everyone, I have been looking at RV6a's for 6-7 months causally and now I am ready to buy. This will be my first plane and I am new to aviation. When I am reading the ads I want to know what are your go and no go things you look for? I want to be able to choose the right plane and get a pre-buy done on it and be able to quickly weed out undesirable planes.
* Did any of you have a set criteria for those hours (airframe/engine)?
* Airframe TT does it matter?
* In an 0-360 what is considered Mid to low time (anything less than 750)? Overhaul is at 1500hrs correct?
* What about engines that have already been overhauled and now have a certain amount of time SMOH? Still worth considering what about hours?
My budget is 65k or less and I want ideally an 0-360 CS with a slider just in case anyone knows of one coming onto the market.
Thanks for any help! Keen to learn from everyone here!
