Okay I'm relisting this kitplane after a no pay... PLEASE read everything, maybe twice or three times. I have nothing more than listed. No more parts, paperwork, no title, no engine or prop and no pilot for crying out loud..It's AS IS no warranties, no service plan, where's is...just a kit to build.

PLEASE read BEFORE bidding..Otherwise THANKS for looking and bidding..

This kit is a Karatoo J6 2 place (side by side) kit plane. All of the following information was given to me by the former owner and I believe to be correct by have no way of confirming it. My understanding is it was designed in the USA, built in Canada at the time. Now it is manufactured in Australia. They have been very helpful since I purchased the plane. If you look them up the specs are very impressive. Huge wing area and light weight.

The chromemoly Fuselage was welded at the factory, excellent but the recommended bracing has been added. Wings were assembled by aircraft engineers and they did an excellent job also. I have a paper where they logged the process. Also note the paper that is signed by a FAA Aviation Safety Inspector.

A aircraft mechanic attempted to cover one wing, wasn't to par so it was removed.

There are lots of parts included but not everything needed to complete the plane, including of course the engine and prop. There are however lots of parts included some gauges, tanks, seat, cowl and etc. The ignition switch is not included.

It has aftermarket disc brakes, lights, and speed struts. Wings are fold-able but not easily.

If you were to buy all of this separately it would cost in excess of $20,000.00 so what I'm asking is a very good deal. It won't take much to complete from the point. It can use a multitude of different engines but there is a continental mount included in case that is you direction.

The tail control surfaces are covered very nicely. With the flaps I believe stall is in the 28 mph range so this would be an excellent bush plane. I think it qualifies for sport light aircraft. Anyway this is basically all I know about the kit but if you have any questions I would be happy to try to answer.

Lets keep the questions/answers and transaction through eBay to protect both of us.
