RV6

Interesting point you make....but what is the difference between buying a QB kit and handing it to a qualified person to build for you and the second hand RV market?

Not sure about current rules in OZ but MANY years ago another mate, who now flys for KA, worked in a hangar in MEL building Steen Slybolts for people who had the money but not the time, inclination or skills.

One of these days when I sell my Bonanza it will be instantly replaced with a RV7 or 8 QB kit....leafing through the RV website and seeing what is affordably available in the avionics, etc, etc department as well as the performance and economy it just makes so much sense for a private aircraft

As it stands, and while I LOVE my Bo, it has 3 times the seats I need 95% of the time and probably costs 3 times as much to run...and I can't loop or roll it.
