Fellow Canadians...
Trying to find a decent RV14 or RV7 in Canada seems challenging, so I am resigned to purchasing one in the US and importing it.
Any pointers / suggestions for the complexity and cost of the import process?
Once deregistered in the US, how long should I plan on my aircraft sitting in a Canadian hangar waiting for Canadian paperwork, registration etc - assuming no issues during its certification inspection? I have both US and Canadian PPL's, so after transition training, myself and a PPL friend can do my own ferry flight, but I know as soon as it is deregistered from US, it is stuck in limbo until it is re-registered in Canada.
Can anyone provide names / contacts for RV importing in the Toronto area?
Of course, if anyone knows of a decent Canadian RV7 / 14 for sale, please let me know... Under 12 years old, preferably IO and constant speed, low hours, IFR (or easily upgradable to IFR or priced so that I can replace the panel myself). I would even consider a 90 - 95 percent completed Canadian build I can finish off!
Thanks
