2004 Vans RV-8A

Overview
Back on the market!! Buyer went another direction. After some buyers passed after seeing the storage years, a cylinder was pulled and found the engine to be in immaculate shape. No corrosion. Pictures in hand.


Recent panel upgrade on a low time frame. Quick build RV8A saves money on insurance over its tail wheel sister. Quick build kit was built by an owner on his 3rd build. This one boasts a corrosion free primer and checkered paint. A taller canopy that was just professionally polished. A low time Lycoming IO-360 motor will fly you well past TBO. First part of its life was hangar stored with climate control in South Carolina. After, a move to the dry air of Texas to also be moved into a hangar. This one is clean, upgraded and ready for the next 20 years of flying.
