1980 American Champion 8-Kcab DecathlonSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Stratford, CT, USA
This 1980 American Champion 8-KCAB Decathlon (N5069U) presents a well-maintained aerobatic platform with only 1,364 total hours on airframe and engine. The aircraft underwent a comprehensive factory refurbishment in 2001 at American Champion Aircraft, receiving a new metal wing, fresh fabric covering, and rare maroon/beige/tan factory paint. The Lycoming AEIO-320-E2B engine (150hp) was freshly overhauled in August 2024 with only 10 hours since major overhaul, featuring performance-enhancing upgrades including a Lycon flow balance and Surefly electronic ignition system for improved power and fuel efficiency.
