2023 VANS RV-9A, 2 HOURS SINCE NEW, DAMAGED, BUT WITH MANY UNDAMAGED, ALMOST NEW PARTS, CHEAP!
THE VANS RV-9 SERIES IS THE LONGER WINGED, LESS AEROBATIC, “TRAVELING’ RV AIRPLANE!
THE RV-9A IS THE TRICYCLE (NOSEGEAR) VERSION, WHICH MOST RV-9’S ARE BUILT AS.
THIS AIRPLANE WAS BUILT OVER MANY, MANY YEARS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A SHEET METAL EXPERT (IN FACT, HE HAS GIVEN A SHEET METAL CONSTRUCTION FORUM AT OSHKOSH FOR OVER 20 YEARS!)
THE ORIGINAL BUILDER OBTAINED THIS EXPERT’S ASSISTANCE FOR ALL OF THE MAJOR COMPONANT BUILDS, BUT DIED BEFORE THEY COULD COMPLETE THE AIRPLANE.
THE WIDOW SOLD THE KIT TO THE EXPERT, WHO TOOK ON A PARTNER, AND THE TWO OF THEM COMPLETED THE AIRPLANE IN LATE 2023, EQUIPPED TO BE STATE OF THE ART!!
UNFORTUNATELY, ALL OF THE SHEET METAL EXPERTISE IN THE WORLD DOESN’T MAKE YOU A GREAT ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTER, NOR MAYBE EVEN THE BEST TEST-PILOT!
ON THE SECOND FLIGHT EVER, THE BUILDER/PILOT WAS TROUBLESHOOTING A SMALL OIL LEAK, WENT UP FOR A SHORT HOP, MOVED AWAY FROM THE TRAFFIC PATTERN TO ALLOW AIRPORT TRAFFIC TO CLEAR, WHEN THE ALL ELECTRONIC IGNITION, SPINNING A LIGHTWEIGHT COMPOSITE 3 BLADE PROPELLOR, FAILED TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING!!
OR MAYBE IT WAS A FUEL DELIVERY PROBLEM?
NO EXACT CAUSE WAS FOUND, BUT THE PILOT COULD NOT MAKE IT BACK TO THE RUNWAY, LANDED JUST OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT AREA. HE MADE A GOOD LANDING AND STAYED UP ON ALL 3 GEAR, BUT HIT A TREE WITH THE LEFT WING, NOT OUT FAR, BUT CLOSE TO THE CABIN!!
THE TREE WON!!
ALTHOUGH INJURED, I MET WITH THE PILOT WHILE I WAS THERE, AND HE WAS WALKING AROUND AND DRIVING, SO THAT’S GREAT!!
WHILE I WAS THERE, I REMOVED THE SUPER FANCY HIGH ZOOT RADIO PACKAGE AND THE FRESHLY OVERHAULED ENGINE AND NEW COMPOSITE PROP, AND THESE ITEMS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE.
THERE IS DAMAGE TO THE CABIN, LEFT WING (SEVERE), RIGHT WING (CUT OFF BY THE PARTNER FOR RECOVERY FROM THE FIELD), AND SOME TAIL DAMAGE.
BUT LOTS OF THIS ALMOST BRAND NEW AIRPLANE DID NOT GET DAMAGED!!
THE UPPER AND LOWER COWLINGS, INSTALLED WITH SPECIAL DIAMONDHEAD SKYBOLT QUICK TURN FASTENERS, NOT PIANO HINGES, ARE UNDAMAGED!
THE ENGINE MOUNT IS UNDAMAGED!
THE NOSEGEAR ASSEMBLY AND WHEEL APPEAR UNDAMAGED.
THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR, WHEEL AND BRAKE ARE UNDAMAGED.
ALTHOUGH THE LEFT GEAR ATTACH POINT IS DEFORMED, THE LEFT GEAR LEG MAY BE UNDAMAGED, AND THE WHEEL AND BRAKE ARE COMPLETELY UNDAMAGED!
THE BOOT COWL IS DAMAGED SEVERLY, BUT THE FIREWALL IS ALMOST COMPLETELY UNSCATHED.
INTERIOR ACCUTREMENTS INCLUDE SUPER FANCY MULTI BUTTON STICK GRIPS AND THE WHOLE TOEBRAKE/ PEDAL ASSEMBLIES.
SLIDER CANOPY FRAME AND SLIDER MECHANISM WORKS GREAT AND HAS SUPERTACKS EXTENSIONS, BUT THERE IS A HOLE IN THE PLEXIGLASS.
WINDSHIELD FRAME ASSEMBLY LOOKS STRAIGHT.
THE THROTTLE AND MIXTURE CABLES ARE INTACT, AND WE HAVE THE KEYS FOR THE IGNITION!!
THE HORIZONTAL STAB AND THE VERTICAL ARE UNDAMAGED, AS IS THE LEFT ELEVATOR, BUT THE RUDDER AND RIGHT ELEVATOR ARE COMPROMISED.
INCLUDED WITH THIS SALE IS THE RV-9A CONSTRUCTION MANUAL, AS WELL AS MANUALS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR MANY OF THE OPTIONAL ACCESSORY ITEMS INCLUDED IN THIS SALE.
AND THE (VERY THIN) AIRFRAME LOGBOOK
AND THE FAA BILL OF SALE!
LOCATED IN A STORAGE LOCKER IN JASPER GEORGIA, 1 HOUR NORTH OF ATLANTA.
WE WILL PAY THE LOCKER FEE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION, AND YOU COULD CHOOSE TO CONTINUE THE TIME ON YOUR OWN AT THE $195 RATE IF YOU NEED MORE TIME.
THIS AIRPLANE ROLLS AROUND ON IT’S BRAND NEW TIRES AND LOADED EASILY ONTO A TRAILER FOR TRANSPORT.
IF YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING OR REBUILDING AN RV-9A, YOU WILL SEE THE VALUE HERE IMMEDIATELY.
USE ALL THAT YOU WANT, AND TRASH THE REST!!
THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T SEE IT, I UNDERSTAND, AND THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!
GOOD BIDDING!
REPAIR OF ANY AIRCRAFT WILL DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS, SUCH AS AVAILABILITY OF USED PARTS, LABOR RATE OF THE REPAIR FACILITY, FAMILIARITY WITH THE AIRCRAFT, ETC. AND WE WOULD NEVER PRESUME TO ESTIMATE THIS NUMBER FOR A BUYER. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO OBVIOUSLY GIVE UNREALISTICALLY LOW "ESTIMATES" FOR THE REPAIR OF THE DAMAGED AIRCRAFT THEY SELL.
THIS ITEM IS BEING SOLD WITH A LOW RESERVE, THEREFORE WE FULLY EXPECT THIS LISTING WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER AT THE CLOSE OF THIS AUCTION, SO BID EARLY AND BID HIGH. THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE TO BUY THIS ITEM LATER!!
AS WE SET OUR BUY-IT-NOW SO LOW, MANY OF OUR AIRPLANES SELL BY THIS METHOD BEFORE THE END OF THE AUCTION. DONT WAIT TOO LONG HOPING TO SNIPE IT AT THE END, AND BE DISAPPOINTED !
