For sale: Advanced Van's RV-7 tip-up canopy project, approximately 75–85% complete with all major parts included except the prop and ready for finishing. Located in Gunnison Utah. Serious inquiries only—happy to provide more photos or arrange inspection.

Highlights:

• Brand new Subaru turbocharged engine (XPRESS 200 RT, ~200 hp) fully mounted with intercooler, boost plumbing, exhaust, and firewall-forward components installed
• Fuselage fully skinned, tip-up canopy frame fitted and opens smoothly
• Empennage (horizontal & vertical stabilizers, elevators, rudder) attached and rigged
• Wings built, protected, and stored (ready for attachment)
• Main gear legs, wheels, and tires included
• Complete set of fiberglass wheel pants, gear leg fairings, intersection fairings, and canopy finishing pieces included
• Cockpit/roll bar/sub-panel area prepped and structurally complete
• Full set of original Van's RV-7 construction drawings/plans included and well-organized
• Build quality is excellent: clean riveting, good fits and alignments, organized shop, no corrosion or damage

This is a powered, structurally advanced project past the heavy riveting and alignment work. Remaining tasks are primarily finishing: wiring/panel, paint, prop and cowling install, interior, final rigging, weight & balance, and condition inspection.

The Subaru turbo setup offers good high-altitude performance potential (ideal for Utah/mountain flying) and was installed new—saves a buyer the time and cost of sourcing and mounting an engine.

Also willing to sell airframe only (no engine) for $42,000
