Hello everyone! I'm new here so please forgive me if this is the wrong place to make this post (although I cleared it with Wayne not long ago). I have an aircraft sales business and have been lucky enough to be tasked with selling this beautiful and incredible "like new" Radial Rocket RG. The owner originally had it built with the idea of racing it at Reno so I figured this would be a great place to list it for sale (in addition to the normal sales outlets like Controller, etc). I was turned on to this site by a fellow airline pilot friend of mine and so far I have really enjoyed the threads and stories, etc. Hopefully the regulars on here don't mind this post.
In short, this is probably the nicest Radial Rocket in existence. No expense was spared and every detail is perfect. She was built and test flown by Jeff Ackland, who designed the aircraft (and who I believe is a member of this forum as well and is available to answer any questions about the airplane, its flight characteristics, etc). Below is a detailed spec sheet with links to a high resolution photo gallery, the logbooks, some articles written about the airplane, as well as a video. Please email or call me anytime to discuss the plane. There is no doubt this aircraft would be a blast to see race at Reno this September!
And to whet everyone's appetite prior to reviewing the spec sheet and photos below...here is a low pass of the plane taken a few months ago. Turn up your volumes!
