    Description

    This isn't just another RV-8 - it's the cleanest, most professionally built example on the market, with only 100 hours on both the airframe and factory-fresh YIO-360 powerplant. Built to airshow standards yet perfectly dialed-in for cross-country comfort.

    Performance Highlights:
    ⚡ Lycoming YIO-360 (180HP) - Zero-time since major, and only 100 since new runs like a Swiss watch! 

    **(Times may change slitly as the plane still is active to prevent une)
    ✈ Whirlwind 3-Blade Composite Constant speed Prop - Silent, efficient, and show-stopping good looks

    Show-Stopping Details:
    ✓ Aerobatic-Ready: Smoke system, inverted oil, hidden rudder stops
    ✓ Canopy Innovations: Silica flex-bonded, tinted, show-quality finish
    ✓ Engine Bay Artistry: Powder-coated components, hidden oil door
    ✓ Paint-Ready Exterior: Currently wears paint ready chrome/grey composite scheme

    Interior Luxury:
    Hand-stitched heathered brown/black leather seats - the perfect blend of sporty elegance and all-day comfort.

    Don't take our word for it - have your mechanic inspect the immaculate build quality during prebuy. This is quite simply the most thoughtfully executed RV-8 available today.
