Aircraft description

This aircraft is for the genuine enthusiast, sporting a 250HP Subaru engine (with Turbo-charger), custom built by a Subaru racing engine builder in Maryland. Fuel and ignition is controlled by a Simple Digital Systems engine computer with fuel mixture adjustment and individual cylinder trim. Heavy duty brakes, nose gear leg brace, heated rear seat & 5 hooker harness combine with a full glass cockpit EFIS, dual ADHRS and engine management display, Garmin radio, ADSB transponder and Trutrak 2-axis autopilot.

The new owner will enjoy the bespoke nature of this aircraft which was fully rebuilt in 2015, with option to leave the primer paint as is, or combine with bespoke top coat and personalised livery! With a new RV-8 kit complete in Australia now topping over $300,000, this one represents incredible value and the opportunity to make it your own! Lycoming engine conversion easily made if required.
