Quick Build VFR RV-8A with glass panel and Strong running engine. I personally have flown this plane from the west coast to Kansas, then back and forth to Phoenix and put 5 hours in the last month flying around central Kansas. This will be a reliable flier that checks all the boxes for getting into the RV-8A world. Formally this was owned for many years by an Air Force Test Pilot at an airport just east of San Diego. In 2018 it moved to Kansas with 9 months in Mississippi before returning to Kansas. It has remained in Kansas (Wichita area) since then.
With the modern avionics that are installed now and an autopilot that works great this is a great platform to have some fun in. This is a reliable, well equipped Vans RV8A that will be a great plane to own for years to come.
