The vast majority of the planes that I sell are Beechcraft. But every now and then I get an opportunity to sell some spectacular and unique non-Beechcraft airplanes. Recently, one of my former Beechcraft clients approached me about selling his "one of a kind" Radial Rocket RG. The Radial Rocket RG is an experimental retractable gear "warbird-like" aerobatic/racing aircraft with blistering performance (but with creature comforts and modern avionics as well). This particular Radial Rocket RG is beautiful, stunning, and incredibly well-built (by the designer of the Radial Rocket RG). No detail left untouched, it has a custom interior and paint job, glass cockpit, Barrett Engines upgraded M14PF radial engine, and is ready to give you the ride of your life.

Below are the specs with links to the logbooks, some articles on the design and plane, a video of the aircraft flying, and a link to the Radial Rocket web page. Please email, call, or PM anytime with questions about this amazing airplane. Thank you!
