I am selling my 2004 RV-6. I really love this plane, but I don't fly it enough to justify keeping it. My wife no longer enjoys flying, and I have recently purchased an Aeronca Champ for doing some low and slow local flying. The RV-6 is a blast to fly and is well equipped. I used the template below to provide as much information as possible, but if you are interested and have questions, please let me know.
Pricing a used airplane is a challenge, but after checking all the online sources and the classifieds here, I feel that my asking price is fair and reasonable.
Thanks for looking!
