RV costs debate

[RV4ker (RIP)]

Following the RV7 for sale debate herewith ad I just got FYI. Idea of this post is to debate price advertised by Keith for NEW RV (R250K+R250K+350K) vs actually selling the aerie in which I have no interest(in which case would be for sale section)

We have an RV7a for sale! N775RV (ex ZU-DPC). To be sold in South Africa as a registered flying aircraft.

180hp factory new Lycoming engine
Sensenich Propeller
Plasma 3 ignition system
Leather bucket seats

This aircraft has recently been purchased back from the USA. It is for sale in South Africa as a registered flying aircraft. This aircraft is very classy and well-finished. Built originally by RCA. Current TT +/- 220 hours, factory new Lycoming Engine.

All I can say is I am very very very glad I am building my own, at my own pace and my own budget. Dropping 1 Bar for an aerie is not in everyone's pants! With prices like that I can see why people build to sell.

All these RV's that get build for those prices seem to get sold rather fast, so there is a definite market for such airies.

Check performance vs anything on the market. Without mentioning names many of the Euro based aeries are similar prices and have 60-70% of the performance.

The Rv is the ultimate 2 seater Bang per buck IMHO.
