This is entirely self serving. For those who haven't seen my prior postings, I purchased a damaged RV-6 to fix and sell aka... 'thougthful' (what would Van do?) flip. I wanted to solicit the group opinion.
Right now, it sits ready for annual as a freshly re-painted bare-bones repair and with minimal upgrades to a basic day/night VFR RV-6 fixed pitch wood prop O-320 150hp. I purchased gently-used upgrades along the theme of building a good cross-country cruiser with minimal IFR capabilities... like pop through a fog layer or drive through a high cirrus. But I've run out of time. The upgrades include;
Unless I put a metal prop on it, I'm thinking I should just forget all this and move on, I'll never see the price in the resale. Do any or all of these make retail sense, what do you all think?
You rock!
