Terry Sack's rebel #279

[Terry Sack]

As all of you are aware by now of Terry's horrific crash and death as Sun N Fun I would like to gather opinion on the best way to sell his incomplete Rebel which is sitting in our garage in Dublin, Ohio. I also would like to hear any opinions as to what it is worth for sale purposes. Around ten years ago he listed it in Trade A Plane and received only one inquiry from a man in New Jersey who offered him $12,000 for it sight unseen. This really upset Terry and he decided to not sell it and hold on to it for his retirement project. Getting the Express into the air was an all consuming passion which put the rebel project on the shelf, so to speak. You should know he was an outstanding builder as most engineers are and was fastidiious and precise, sometimes too precise, which caused slow progress.

I havent had time to look into his records to see how much $ he had into the plane and engine. I realize there is no compensation for his time in building. The engine needs to be re-built. I am unable to tell you the size and type of engine but I do know it is the larger horsepower of the two recommended for the rebel back when he first began the kit. The plane is approximately 2/3 complete. The wings are completed but need to be re-opened and re-sealed against leaks. The last thing he worked on was fabricating and installing the dash/control panel under the windshield. There are all new instruments still in their packages, etc.

I'll check your website to hear your thoughts. I don't need to sell it immediately for tax reasons this year, but will need to eventually get it out of our garage.

He loved you guys, he loved seeing you every year at S & F. He and Roger were really looking forward to the corn roast and having an opportunity to catch up.

Thanks, Susan Sack

Susan,
I offer you my most sincere and deepest sympathy for the loss of
Terry.
There is an EAA chapter in Columbus and I'm sure there is someone
nearby from the chapter that would be willing to help you identify some of
your Rebel's accessories.
Check out their web site and give one of the officers a call.

Good luck,
Rick
