Well, it has been several years since I've been able to fly. Recently found out that I can get a FAA medical Class III again.
So been looking for an airplane that will get me back in the air. N999SN is a Vans RV-6 homebuilt airplane that was finished in 1999.

On Friday the 23rd, it will have Pre-Buy inspection made on it. If it passes without any safety issues, I'll be an airplane owner again.
Nothing fancy about the paint or the instrument/avionics panel. White paint with some blue highlights, basic VFR panel and radios.
It does have the 0-320-D engine in it which puts out 160 HP.

Attachment 302700
Specifications:
2-seats
160 Hp
Catto Propeller
Empty Weight: 1050 lbs
Gross weight:1600 lbs
Wingspan: 23 ft
Length: 20ft 2inch
Height: 5ft 3inch (height to top of tall)
Fuel Tanks: 38 Gal
As you can from the Specs. it is a small airplane.
Performance on 160HP at Gross weight:
Top Speed: 201 mph (202 solo)
Cruise Speed 75% power setting: 190 mph
Cruise speed 55% power setting: 172 mph
Stall Speed: 55 mph (49 mph when solo)
Take Off distance: 535 ft (300 ft solo)
Landing distance: 500 ft (300 ft solo)
Rate of climb: 1500 ft per minute (1900 fpm solo)
Ceiling: 19,500 ft (21,500 ft solo)
Range 75% power: 775 Statue Miles
Range 55% Power: 950 Statue Miles
You can see it is a fast little airplane for the amount of horsepower it has. One added benefit is that it is also aerobatic, so looking for parachutes as an accessory!
I will go pick it up next spring and fly it back to Alaska around the first of April. Not going to risk a winter flight this year!
Yes, the plan is to get some 8.50 tires and wheels to allow some back country fishing trips.
Hope I'm not jinxxin the deal by posting to soon....
