I'll buy it from you, Herb. Is it expired or was that the date it was repacked?

Stephen, thanks for inquiring. That was the expiration date, it will need a repack.

Okay, thanks. I'll buy it. Please advise how we move forward with the payment and shipping. I'm wondering if sending it directly to BRS after purchase might be better. Will save me from having 3 shipments.

I will need to find out if BRS sells the installation kit and hardware separately. They may not sell install sub kits. Zenith sells their supplementary kit (fairings, various bolts, etc.) and have a quote, but not sure about BRS. I assume that most of the required install parts / hardware were left on the plane.

The attached list shows all parts required from BRS in black (all parts in red are from Zenith in a separate kit). Do you know if all of these parts in black are included or were left with the plane?

I have pretty much everything, minus a few screws or washers, nothing was left on the aircraft. I do have the rocket assembly as well but I cannot ship that.Rocket expiration is late 2023

Herb,

I just looked up the repacking / new rocket cost (due in '23) for the BRS 6 1350 on their repacking webpage and it's going to cost approximately $3,192 to repack and buy the new rocket, plus shipping.

With that, I apologize, but I'm going to pass on the purchase of this BRS.

Regards,

Steve

Hi Herb, I just received a quote from BRS to inspect, repack and purchase a new rocket. It was more reasonable than their published price. Let's discuss this on the phone. I'll give you a call to set up the purchase.

After that, I will get an RA# from the repack center and have you send it directly to BRS rather than ship it to me directly.
