I am helping a friend sell an experimental airplane kit, barely started.

What is the best place to try to sell something like that?

Here?

Barnstormer?

Trade a Plane?

Any idea?

Barnstormers is fine, but I'd try to sell it on a type-specific board. That's where you'll find the folks actively looking.

^^^This.

Cub clones on supercub.org, Kitfox on teamkitfox.com, RANS on ransclan.com, and RV on vansairforce.net. Most, if not all, of those forums have requirements for those who want to post in their equivalent of Peddlers.

I am purposely withholding details for now because I will start a new thread with the actual sale. Or the family will do it.

Is there a Sonex message board to sell kits?

Local owner here didn’t build his sonex - told a funny story about how some doesn’t want to sell or support 2nd owners or anyone not the original kit buyer??

His words not mine - is that a story or ?

Oh. That’s a tricky one. I know of one that has been built in Ontario. The owner has been trying to sell it for a year or so. It’s a very niche market for these little planes. Not really a two up traveling machine

The Sonex Jet is single seat. Great little machine. But the pilot would almost have to have military jet experience. So, a very limited market.

My friend, who had just started building the kit, passed away suddenly.

If the widow can’t sell it, she would be looking for a place to donate it.
