THE LEFT SIDE WINDOW IS POPPED OUT (NO EXPLANATION), BUT THE DOOR SHOWS NO DAMAGE, SO JUST RE-GLUE LOOKS LIKE THE ANSWER.LIKEWISE, THE TAIL FEATHERS ALL LOOK VERY GOOD, WITH ONLY SOME CRACKING TO THE FIBERGLASS LOWER RUDDER CAP!BOTH WINGS ARE DAMAGED, AS ARE THE FLAPS AND AILERONS, WITH THE RIGHT SIDE BEING ONLY SLIGHTLY DAMAGED AND THAT TIP BEING GOOD.THE FIBERGLASS UPPER COWL HAS ONLY ONE SMALL CRACK BUT THE FIBERGLASS LOWER COWL WAS TORN AND WAS DISCARDED.INSIDE, THE FRONT SEATS ARE INSTALLED AND UNDAMAGED, BUT THE REAR SEAT PADS WERE NOT INSTALLED YET AND THEREFORE ARE NOT INCLUDED.THIS WAS A FLYING PLANE, SO ALL CONTROLS, RUDDER PEDALS, ACTUATORS, STICKS, ETC. ARE INSTALLED AND INCLUDED.THERE ARE NO AVIONICS, ENGINE GAUGES OR AUTOPILOT SYSTEMS INCLUDED IN THIS SALE, AS THIS IS OFTEN A VERY PERSONAL DECISION, SO WE WON’T TIE YOU TO WHAT HE HAD.THE DASH CUTOUTS FIT 10” DISPLAYS, WHICH ARE NOT INCLUDED! No connectors or trays included!THE GARMIN GAD 27 IS INSTALLED AND WIRED INTO MANY SYSTEMS OF THE AIRPLANE, SO IT IS INCLUDED WITH THE PROJECT.A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE UPS STORE……..Actually, the logbooks were dropped off at a local ups store, enroute to the insurance company after the claim was settled, but never arrived at the insurance office.UPS PAID OUT $100 INSURANCE, BUT THE LOGBOOKS ARE LOST AND WILL NOT BE INCLUDED, SORRY.THE FAA BILL OF SALE WAS ALSO LOST, BUT LUCKILY THESE CAN BE SIGNED AND FILLED OUT EASILY, SO THE FORMER OWNER DID AND NOW WE HAVE A VALID FAA BILL OF SALE WHICH IS INCLUDED WITH THE SALE.LOCATED AT OUR MAIN OFFICES AT THE CRYSTAL AIRPORT (KMIC), JUST NORTH OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.WE WILL STORE THE AIRPLANE AT NO CHARGE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION, AND STORAGE WILL BE $8 PER DAY THEREAFTER IF YOU NEED MORE TIME.EASY TO TRANSPORT, AND WE CAN ASSIST WITH LOADING OR CONTAINERIZING, AT ADDITIONAL COST, IF DESIRED.OF COURSE THIS AIRPLANE IS A PROJECT, BUT NOT A BASKET CASE, AND ALL OF THE PIECES REQUIRED ARE AVAILABLE FROM VANS, OR BUY THE PIECES FROM ANOTHER BUILDER WHO NEVER COMPLETED HIS KIT.REBUILDING IS FAR EASIER THAN BUILDING, OF COURSE, AS YOU HAVE AN EXEMPLAR PIECE TO REFERENCE, AND YOU DON’T NEED TO REPLACE EVERYTHING ON THIS AIRPLANE, FOR SURE!AND OUR ASKING PRICE IS ABOUT HALF OF WHAT WE JUST RECENTLY SOLD A PARTIALLY COMPLETED RV-10 KIT FOR, WITHOUT AN ENGINE!DON’T WAIT!GOOD BIDDING!
