Aircraft description
The 8KCAB Super Decathlon is fitted with a fuel injection system, inverted oil system, fuel header tank and the AEIO-360-H1A/B 180HP power plant with CSU; designed to make the Super Decathlon - the ultimate aerobatic machine!
This gorgeous example offers low engine hours (since major overhaul in 2018), low-time propeller (since new 2018), and tidy interior / paint. Recent works include new CHT sensors / serviced EGT sensors, new throttle cable, repaired carburettor heat connector on air box, and a new induction tube. A new Trig radio has also been recently fitted. The aircraft will come with a fresh annual for the new owner.
