So, I should be in the market for a 6 in the very near future. I've bought and sold one certified airplane in the past but have never bought an experimental. What things should I be aware of in regards to purchasing an experimental? I will definitely do a prebuy by an experienced RV mechanic/AP/IA. I hope to find one close to home (Ok/Tx/Ks/Ar). What questions should I ask? Anything specific to the 6s that I should avoid?
What I hope to find is:
RV-6 - taildragger not tricycle
180HP Lycoming, mid time or lower
Prefer CS Prop
Prefer Slider Canopy (not 100% on this)
Paint - Decent condition, doesn't need to be perfect
Interior - Decent condition
IFR certified or certifiable
Would be nice:
IFR WAAS GPS
AutoPilot
Dual Comms
I'm not 100% set in stone on any of the above, I just know I want a 6 that is in good condition.
Appreciate any input.
