Unfortunately I need to sell my airplane in favor of something with seating for at least 3. 2001 Vans RV8 180hp Constant Speed. 1500TT and 130 since IRAN. Compressions are 78/78/78/78 over last 2 years since IRAN. Electric Trim. Full Dynon avionics - 10" Touch, GPS, Autopilot, Comm, Transponder, Engine Managment System, ADSB. Fuel Injected with Lightspeed Plasma II Electronic ignition and single bendix mag. 4gal smoke tank (smoke system helper) and new leather interior (2022), Koger sunshade, adjustable rudder pedals, rear seat controls, front and back USB outlets. Many extras included such as Bruces Cover, original build plans, etc. Airplane maintained and housed at 52F. My primary mission is formation and gentleman aerobatics, and the airplane is perfectly set up for that. Cruising to Oshkosh doing 174kts true on 9.3gph last year. So if your mission is XC, it does just fine! Ideally, I'd even prefer to buy this airplane back at a later date when I can afford 2 planes or my need changes again...but alas that is not now. This airplane is flown frequently with VAF members. Airplane is due for annual in June and will be sold with a current annual condition inspection by Richmond Aircraft. Currently asking $140,000 but will entertain (reasonable) offers. Email: [email protected]
