I'm looking for a 50% co-owner for this RV9 built by 3-time builder John Kerr. The build quality is extremely good, and it has been very well maintained. Always hangared until June when it came to Palo Alto.

652lbs useful load. Even with 100lbs of baggage and full fuel I haven't found a way to load it outside of CG! Real World Cruise Figures: - 190mph TAS at 8,000ft spinning 2590 rpm (I forgot to note fuel burn). - 182mph TAS at 8,500ft spinning 2520 rpm while burning 7.5gph. - 160mph TAS at 10,500ft spinning 2290 rpm while burning 5.2gph. - 173mph TAS at 14,500ft spinning 2440 rpm while burning 5.6gph. Note that the third and fourth lines above are running LOP, and this is a carbureted engine. You MUST prove that you know how to safely run LOP in a carbed engine before doing so!

SMOH

Engine Make/Model: Lycoming O-320-D1A - HP: 160 - Total Time Engine: (same as airframe) - Ignition: Dual LASAR EI - Carb/FI: Carb - Exhaust system: Vetterman - Engine Purchased from: Penn Yan (zero-timed engine) - Engine Assembled by: Penn Yan

Sensenich 70CM7S9-0-79, 390 hours since new. Still has its original paint on the leading edge because it's never needed to be filed down!

- Almost-a-14 seat back recline mod - Supertrack - Removable oxygen system - Engine preheater - great for Tahoe in the winter!

Full IFR glass update planned. Current avionics are: - Dynon D10A EFIS - Dynon dual-axis (pitch/roll) AP74 autopilot, coupled to VFR GPS - GRT engine monitor (CHT, EGT, rpm, MAP, fuel flow, fuel totalizer, fuel pressure, oil temp, oil pressure, etc) - uAvionix ADS-B out - Icom AC-200 radio/tranceiver - King KT76A transponder - Flightcom 403 intercom - ACK 406MHz ELT - Controls for AP, pitch/roll trim, COM, and PTT all on the stick - backup analog airspeed, altimeter, and engine gauges

Paint is a 9/10 on all metal surfaces, and 7/10 on the fiberglass/fairings. The prop still has its original paint on the leading edge because it's never needed to be filed down!

8/10 - Full interior by Oregon Aero (panels/carpet/baggage area/etc), gray-burgundy color scheme - Almost-a-14 seat back recline mod - Supertracks for easy baggage loading - Kroger sunshade - 4-point harnesses on both sides - toe brakes on both sides

All logs available, no damage history. Most recent annual completed in May 2020. Compressions 76/77/76/77.
