This 2001 Vans RV-8A (N899Y) presents as a well-maintained example with 1,380 total hours and an IFR-capable Dynon avionics suite. The aircraft features a Lycoming O-360-A1A engine (1,380 hours since factory new) with a Surefly electronic ignition and a Hartzell constant-speed propeller (380 hours since June 2022 overhaul). Recent maintenance includes a 2022 overhaul of the propeller, new exhaust, magneto, fuel system components, and air/oil separator.
The airframe shows no damage history and carries a striking military-style paint scheme applied in 2002. The panel includes a Dynon EFIS/EMS system, TruTrak autopilot coupled to a Garmin 796, Garmin SL40 comm, and VAL Nav 2000 for ILS approaches. Additional features include ADS-B In/Out, lithium battery upgrade, and LED lighting. With a 650 lb useful load and frequent recent use (140 hours in the last year), this RV-8A demonstrates active maintenance and operational readiness.
