About this aircraft
Price reduction to $89K.
Offered for sale is my 1997 RV-6A. This is a clean, honest, low-time VFR RV-6A that I purchased directly from the builder in 2018. I have full documentation including the build logs. Every mechanic who has worked on this aircraft has remarked that it is one of the best-built examples of an RV that they've encountered. I have made some upgrades over the years, including installing a uAvionix EchoUAT for ADSB In/Out, FlyLED triple spotlight landing and taxi lights, Anti-Splat Nose Job 2, and replaced the left magneto with a P-Mag for improved fuel efficiency and easier starting. The aircraft has always been hangared and is located at KPOU in New York State. Selling as I'm moving up to an RV-10 to accommodate the family. I have flown this aircraft across the country (Seattle to New York) and wouldn't hesitate to do so again tomorrow.
