Vans RV-8A
$92,500
This is a great aircraft and its been my personal airliner for the past year or so. This aircraft is IFR equipped and ready to fly across the country now. Ive taken it to Boston, Los Angeles and nearly a hundred and fifty airports in between. Its fun, fast and economical like all RVs and just a little bit better. The avionics are top notch and worth over $30,000 alone. Take a look at all the pictures I am sure you will be impressed. Fly someone 1,000 miles away for a weekend getaway and then spend the next weekend having fun doing aerobatics. Look at the details below, see the photos, note the trade in/panel option at the bottom and give me a call to see it.

Trades: Would consider trading for well equipped turbocharged Mooney, preferably with TKS. My only motivation to sell this workhorse is to get something a little bigger I can take my family in.
Customization: I would also potentially consider removing some of the avionics items for partial credit.
Feel free to email me at [email protected] at 501-952-2845 with any questions. Ive taken over 65 pictures at www.crank.cc so you can really see just about every part of the plane. I am happy to show it to serious buyers at KLIT and for very serious buyers, would consider bringing it to you depending on location for reimbursement of expenses. I would also consider delivering to the buyer depending on timing and location for expenses reimbursement.
