RV-7A

Jumpstart Your Build 

My friends are selling their partially completed Vans RV-7A kit. Located near Seattle, WA is a complete Vans RV-7A slider kit with no laser cut parts, numerous upgrades, and more than 1000 hours of labor put into the construction. 

It’s at a point where you could finish the cabin, mate the canopy, stand it up on gear, and then move on to avionics or your engine. It comes with the following:

All plans: (e.g. instructions and engineering drawings) Empennage kit: build complete. Horizontal stabilizer and elevators mated to the fuselage. Vertical stabilizer and rudder need to be attached to the kit.

 The electric trim kit has not been installed, and no fiberglass work has been completed, but all of the parts are included. Wing Kit: build complete. Conduit run. The landing (Duckworks) and position lights have not been installed. No fiberglass work has been completed. All the parts are included. 

Fuselage Kit: mostly complete. The fuselage kit is at a point where the cabin group needs to be finished, and the wings need to be mated. 

Finishing Kit: no work has been done with any of the parts of the finishing kit. Once the cabin group is complete and the wings are mated, removed, and set aside, you’ll be able to install the roll bars and mate the canopy to the fuselage. And then put it on gear. 

The engine mount is for an O/IO 360/375.  

I asked why they were selling. The owner said, "Although building is deeply satisfying, I have too many competing priorities (e.g. family, work, volunteering, flying and maintaining other airplanes). I don’t need to sell, but I would like this kit to find a home with a builder that can dedicate the time to completing the project, and enjoy the finished product."

I won't part out the kit. Everything will be sold together. I’m also happy to help you load it up, but I expect you to handle shipping or transportation of the kit to your preferred location.

This is a great opportunity for a motivated builder to get a jump start on finishing a Vans RV kit. 

And the best part, it's only $35,000

Enjoy the Journey!!!
