Item specifics
| Condition: | Used |
THIS RV-9A IS A LOW TIME EXAMPLE OF A NICELY CONSTRUCTED AIRPLANE.
ONLY 254 HOURS SINCE BRAND NEW
BEAUTIFUL PEARL PAINT JOB
NICE TWO-TONE INTERIOR
THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE WHEN IT LANDED ON A GRASS RUNWAY THAT CROSSED A PAVED RUNWAY. THERE WAS AN ELEVATION CHANGE, WHICH PITCHED THE AIRPLANE"S NOSE UP, AND WHEN IT CAME DOWN IN THE GRASS ON THE OTHER SIDE, THE NOSEGEAR TUBE BENT BACK, FOLLOWED BY THE AIRPLANE FLIPPING OVER IN THE GRASS.
OF COURSE, THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE !!
THE VERTICAL FIN AND RUDDER ARE BOTH BENT ON THE TOP.
THE CANOPY GLASS IS BROKEN, THE WINDSHIELD IS BROKEN, AND THE SLIDING CANOPY FRAME IS BENT.
THE LOWER TAILCONE, FORWARD OF THE UNDAMAGED TIE-DOWN RING AND AFT OF THE CABIN IS DENTED ON THE BOTTOM, BUT THE HORIZONTAL ATTACH AREA SHOWS NO DAMAGE
THE HORIZONTAL STAB AND BOTH ELEVATORS APPEAR UNDAMAGED
THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THE CABIN IS A 1" DENT ON THE PILOTS SIDE, UNDER THE WING, WHICH IS ISOLATED, AND POSSIBLY FROM RECOVERY, NOT THE INCIDENT
THERE IS A CRACKED AREA OF FILLER ON THE LEFT BOOTCOWL SKIN, BUT NO APPARENT METAL DAMAGE.
THE TWIN EXHAUST PIPES PUSHED UP INTO THE FORWARD LOWER BELLY, PUTTING 2 DENTS THERE, BUT THERE IS NO OTHER FIREWALL DAMAGE
THE LEFT WING IS DAMAGED AT THE TIP, WHICH ALSO WRINKLED THE WING INBOARD
THE RIGHT WING IS STRAIGHT, WITH ONLY VERY MINOR SURFACE CRACKS IN THE FIBERGLASS TIP.
BOTH FLAPS HAVE A KINK IN THE SKIN, (LEFT ON TRAILING EDGE, RIGHT ON OUTBOARD EDGE. BOTH AILERONS LOOK OK
BOTH MAIN GEAR LEGS LOOK STRAIGHT, AND THE ATTACHMENT POINTS IN THE FUSELAGE LOOK STRAIGHT AND UNDAMAGED.
CLEVELAND WHEELS AND BRAKES ARE GOOD
BOTH MAIN GEAR WHEEL PANTS ARE GOOD, BUT THE NOSE IS CRACKED UP.
THE UPPER AND LOWER COWLING, UNBELIEVABLY, ARE NOT BROKEN UP. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL CRACKS AND CHIPS IN THE GELCOAT ON THE FORWARD EDGE, BUT THEY MAY HAVE BEEN PRE-EXISTING
THE FIBERGLASS AIRBOX AND LOWER COWL SCOOP ARE LIKEWISE UNDAMAGED
THE 0-320 ENGINE SUSTAINED A PROP STRIKE, AND HAS BEEN REMOVED, AS SHOWN, AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION.
THE ENGINE MOUNT LOOKS STRAIGHT, INCLUDING THE NOSE GEAR MOUNT, AND SO DOES THE FORK AND NOSEWHEEL, SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE NOSE TUBE ITSELF IS THE MAJOR DAMAGE THERE.
ALL OF THE FIREWALL MOUNTED ACCESSORIES ARE STILL THERE, AS SHOWN, INCLUDING THE OIL COOLER, LINES, CONTROL CABLES, HOSES, ETC.
THE DASH INCLUDES DUAL DIGITAL ENGINE MONITORS, WHICH SHOW ALL EGT/CHT, OIL TEMP AND PRESSURE, FUEL PRESSURE AND FLOW, TACH, MANIFOLD, AIRSPEED, ALTIMETER, ETC., PLUS A FULL SIZED SEPARATE ALTIMETER AND AIRSPEED AND 2 1/4" FUEL GUAGES.
ALL OF THE SWITCHGEAR AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION IS INTACT.
THIS AIRPLANE IS EQUIPPED WITH ROLL AND PITCH ELECTRIC TRIM, WITH STICK MOUNTED HAT SWITCHES
SOLD WITH FAA BILL OF SALE AND AIRFRAME LOGBOOKS
THIS IS BY FAR THE LEAST DAMAGED RV-9A THAT I HAVE EVER SOLD, AND I SELL MORE RV SERIES AIRPLANES THAN ANY OTHER DEALER IN THE WORLD !!
MOST OF THESE AIRPLANES RUIN THE FIREWALL, LOWER OR BOTH COWLS, AND OFTEN THE MAIN GEAR, SO THIS IS A NICE CHANGE OF SITUATION.
LOCATED AT OUR MAIN LOCATION AT THE CRYSTAL AIRPORT (KMIC), NORTH OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
WE WILL KEEP IT INSIDE FOR FREE FOR THE FIRST 30 DAYS, THAN $8 PER DAY THEREAFTER.
