**** UNDER CONTRACT ***

Arguably the least available (and most sought-after) of the modern Van's models, the RV-8 in a tailwheel configuration is any pilot's true sport aircraft. High performance - with a fighter-like, centreline feel, comfortable ergonomics, aerobatic capability and 4 hours of flight time plus reserves - 'the 8' truly has it all!

This immaculate, low-time aircraft offers the new owner speed, agility and performance - and an easy option to upgrade to IFR. Featuring glass cockpit plus backup instrumentation, integrated VPX sport circuit breakers, heated seats, autopilot, professional paint, fresh annual - and a host of extras - this one will not last!
