1997 RV-6, with slider canopy and IFR setup. Asking reduced: $95,000 OBO
1997 RV-6 N139TX SN: 23139
Total Hours (Airframe, Engine, Prop): ~1300 hours (flown regularly, times will change)
Last Annual: 05/2023, Randy Richmond at 52F
Last IFR Cert: 09/2023, North Texas Avionics at T67
Prop: Hartzell CS HC-C2YK-1BF, IRAN 04/2022 at Byam Prop at KFTW ~150hrs ago, Blades: J17861, J17859, Hub: CH33145B (no AD)
Engine: O-360-A4A, converted to a -B1A (original builder wanted to run car gas, so wanted low compression). Serial: L-23010-36A. Chrome cylinders. Right eMag, Left Slick Impulse. KN Oil filter.
Paint: Poplawski
Avionics:
2x Garmin G5's
Trio Pro Pilot, coupled to
Garmin 400W via GAD29, so the autopilot will fly coupled WAAS approaches
GMU 11
GAD 13
2x Garmin GTR200
PMA 1000II Audio
JPI 830
Garmin GDL 88 ADSB In/Out (on the 400W)
Features:
Electric Flaps
Analog trim
Smoke system installed (which I only used a few times), with tank behind the baggage wall and external filler cap. Has an on-demand button and continuous mode switch.
Plumbed for an extra 16gal fuel tank in the baggage compartment. I removed it for the space, but I have the tank and it can be reinstalled.
Koger sunshade
Custom fuselage cover
SuperTracks canopy slider extender
Condition:
Paint is still pretty good, with usual wear and tear for almost 30 years. Some crazing on the cowl, but not noticeable when clean and waxed.
Interior is faux leather gray with coarse woven blue, though there is a seam separation in one of the seat backs (I have contacted someone that can refurbish them, just haven't done it yet).
Location: Hangared at T67
I am the 3rd owner after the builder, Cecil McRee. I have the logbook with pictures showing him building it in his garage. I bought it in 05/2021 and got my TW endorsement in it, and have flown it about 220hr since, a couple times to OSH and around TX and OK. According to several very knowledgable builders, it's a solid, straight RV-6 build.
You can text, VAF PM, or call (preferred order) at (the FTW area code that starts with 8)-875-0658. I can send more pics, FaceTime, etc. Several on here can vouch for me IRL.
