Other Notables from flying the plane:
Quick Build VFR RV-8A with Strong engine that I personally have flown from the west coast to Kansas, then back and forth to Phoenix. I have flown N57MF 5 hours in September and October 2024. This will be a reliable flier that covers all the basics for getting into the RV-8A world. Formally this was owned for many years by an Air Force Test Pilot at an airport just east of San Diego. In 2018 it moved to Kansas with 9 months in Mississippi before returning to Kansas. It has remained in Kansas (Wichita area) since then.
With the modern avionics that are installed now and an autopilot that works great this is a great platform to have some fun in. This is a reliable, well equipped Vans RV8A that be a great plane to own for years to come.
