Mike, I am in Anchorage Alaska. I can arrange shipping for a buyer. I shipped my last plane, a CH750 down the Yukon River on a barge. The one before that, an RV-7A, I shipped to South Africa.

I will be traveling to the lower 48 next summer and could bring it in an enclosed trailer to a buyer there.

This is a completed kit minus engine. I can send lots of pics. I have a trailer going south in June that can deliver to you at no extra charge. Message me to get started.

Rich lives just a few miles from me and I can vouch for him and the quality of his work. He's a very experienced builder and everything he does is first class.

My airframe is completed 100% as far as the Zenith kit came. Fuselage, wings, tail, control surfaces, gear , flight controls, fuel lines and selector valve (added), instrument panel with glass panel all complete. Instruments include  the Dynon D180 EFIS, iFLY 720 GPS/map, ICOM com radio, Garmin transponder, ELT, switches all wired and checked for correctness. All instruments checked for correct operation, lithium battery installed with power to the panel. Canopy has been installed and free from any defects. Sitting on the three wheels. All work done by myself, a licensed A&P, and this is my 6th plane built. All construction completed to Zenith plan specs.

I had planned to finish the plane and keep it as my final build but my health has changed and I can no longer work on it or fly it. Main problem is for you that I live in Alaska and you would have to buy it without personal inspection unless you know someone in the Anchorage area that can look at it. Also you could get another A&P or EAA member to come look at it for you. Once you decide to buy it I can arrange to deliver it to you.
