Greetings,
I've put a lot of thought
into this, and believe it's time to sell the RV-3. I originally
purchased it, because it was inexpensive, and would allow me to test the rotary
engine without any significant loss of money in resale. It was never meant
to be the plane of my dreams, for all eternity, etc, so I think I've taken it
about as far as I care to. Also, I've never kept any project, car or
plane, longer than this, so it's time to move on.
What this means, is that if
anyone on the list wants either the complete plane, or perhaps the
entire engine system only, contact me offlist, and tell me how much money you
have :-) Within a week or so, I'll probably advertise it for
sale on Barnstormers, and see where it goes from there. I would
entertain selling the entire flying plane, the airframe only, or the engine
system only.
For anyone who hasn't been
paying attention, I'm not leaving the rotary engine world, since I
have the single rotor Kolb SlingShot in progress now.
The engine will likely be assembled by next weekend, and minus the
distraction of the RV-3, this could come together
very quickly. I'm also looking at other projects to follow
the Kolb. It's painfully obvious that I'm not interested in
traveling, so much as just flying for fun locally, so the move away from the RV
makes sense. Deep down, I really am more of a Sport Pilot, though I
might pursue a twin single rotor Aircam, or something similar as the next
project.
Cheers,
Rusty (I really just didn't
want to paint it <g>)
