Description

1991 RV-6 SN 003256 $75,000. TTAF 849; Firewall forward TSN 168. Own a piece of EAA history. Originally constructed by legendary builder Tony Bingelis, and featured in many of his books. Built light weight as Van recommended to optimize performance.

The airframe has the original paint (with some touch-ups) so if you’re looking for a show plane, this isn’t it. What it is is a no nonsense, solid aircraft with exceptional firewall forward offering outstanding performance whether for gentleman’s aerobatics or cross country travel. If you check current pricing, you’ll find you are essentially buying the firewall forward and getting the airframe for free.

I’m retired, and now on a fixed income I just can’t justify the fixed expenses for an airplane I’m simply not flying enough. I’d much prefer it to be in the hands of someone that appreciates it’s performance and excellent handling characteristics. Insurance premium for me is $956.00 thru Global Aerospace. Airplane is located in NW Georgia, at Barwick/LaFayette airport (9A5).
