Default Have You Bought a Used Homebuilt?

For an upcoming article, I'm looking for pilots who've purchased any of
the following completed (already flying) homebuilts from previous
builders:

Van's RV-4
Glasair II
Lancair 320/360
Zenith Zodiac (CH 601, 601 HDS, XL)
Avid MK IV
Kitfox Model IV/Classic IV

Specifically, the topic is particular items of importance to look at on
these airplanes if you're considering purchase of a used one. If you'd
be willing to talk about your story, please reply with e-mail address
and/or phone number.

Thanks...

That is funny, but I would make this one of my stops. The type clubs and
owners groups are a good source for the big things to watch for, but they
are also made up of people who already decided that the plane was a good
one.

I wouldn't be telling people how lousy a plane was until AFTER I sold my
copy.

Well, when you consider that at least three regular Kitplanes contributors hang
out here, and other participants have written for them off and on, it's not
surprising they're going to eliminate the middleman. :-)

Heck, the first two magazine articles I ever sold started out as USENET
postings....

They *still* haven't picked up on the Lycoming verdict. I wonder if
