2001 Vans RV-8ASingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • El Dorado, KS, USA

This 2001 Vans RV-8A (N57MF) presents as a well-maintained VFR-equipped quick-build aircraft with 1,761 total hours on both airframe and its Lycoming O-360-A1A engine, which was new in December 2000. The aircraft features a modern Dynon SkyView glass panel suite including autopilot, engine analyzer, and VFR GPS, complemented by a Garmin GTR 200 comm radio, G5 backup instrument, and ADS-B In/Out capability via uAvionix echoUAT. Notable airframe modifications include reinforced nose gear via AntiSplat Aero's "The Nose Job," electric trim, and full rear cockpit controls.

Maintenance records show a clean history with no corrosion issues, though...

Interior Notes: Basic interior. Adequate but shows wear. The Panel looks great and is a good installation.

Exterior Notes: Paint in good condition, Canopy has 3 small cracks that have been stop drilled (Non-Airworthiness issue, pictures available). Some hangar rash on RH aileron determined non-airworthiness issue and has flown several hundred hours since.
