Darick's Sonex #1646

[Darick]

Fellow Aviators. Final decision now I must sell N417DG as my medical condition continues to get worse. I'm asking 27k. If there is no interest here I'll post on Barnstormers in a few weeks.

That's a beautiful Sonex. Do you still have this?

Yes, its sill for sale. $24,500 is the new lower price. Once you start chemo, at least for me, I'm not fit to fly. Plus will last about 4 months so its time sell to a new owner who can enjoy flying. It seems the biggest hurdle for the few inquiries I got so far has been flying off the remaining 20 hours, but that really is not an insurmountable task.

There are a few squawks to fix but none that will keep you from flying it.

Sorry to hear about your health issues, Darick. I'll pass this to my buddy's uncle in PA. Gonna shoot you a PM if he's interested.

Hi guys, I’m still hanging in there. My Sonex was sold and will remain at the same airport since the new buyer lives locally.
On a better note, I have a good chance of beating the cancer with a new treatment that targets only those cells. The bad news is now I don’t have an airplane. The good news is I like building and will look at the Onex as a potential project. Does anybody have a realistic build time if purchasing all the quick build assemblies?

Hey all,
Just discovered Darick passed away last May.
