Unfortunately, I find myself in the circumstance where I do not have the combination of adequate time and money to finish my RV-9A project in the forseable future.  I've finished the tail kit and did the flaps and ailerons, and was just starting on the main spar.  Any recommendations on whether to go ahead and finish the wing and then sell it, or just sell it as is?  Can I expect to get any more money for finishing it?  My suspicion is not, since partial completions seem to go for near "cost-of-kit" prices.  Anyway, input would be appreciated.  



 Thanks,

 

 Bob - sad RV9 no-longer-builder

Bob - real sorry you have to give this up. I believe it would be better 

to sell now - as you said, there isn't much monetary gain by completing 

the wings. You will probably have to slightly undersell Van's to give a 

reason to buy from you vs them. If you wait until completed, you will 

have very expensive shipping and thus a more restricted customer base.

Best wishes.

Carl

I'm in a similar situation, but I have my wings complete to the point of applying the bottom skin.  I've had the kit on the market for several months now and no offers at all at any price! So if I were you I'd not put the labor into it.



 Good Luck!
