NEWLY BUILT | ZERO AIRFRAME FLIGHT HOURS | NEVER FLIGHT TESTED An interesting opportunity to acquire a newly built Van's RV-8A, professionally presented and equipped with a Lycoming IO-360-M1A engine, Hartzell Scimitar propeller, modern flight instrumentation and a comprehensive avionics installation. Aircraft PH-FLL was built by Aerocentro Varesino in Italy and is registered in the Netherlands under the Homebuilt category. The aircraft has never flown and has not yet undergone its initial flight-test programme. The airframe therefore has zero flight hours. The first flight, flight testing and any required inspections or adjustments remain to be completed by the purchaser or by agreement with the seller, subject to the applicable Dutch aviation authority requirements. WEIGHT & BALANCE According to the supplied Weight & Balance document: Maximum Takeoff Weight: 1,800 lb / approximately 816.5 kg Empty Weight: 1,126.98 lb / approximately 511.2 kg Useful Load: 673.02 lb / approximately 305.3 kg Fuel Capacity Used in Calculations: 42 US gallons / approximately 159 litres Available Load with Full Fuel: approximately 191.4 kg These figures offer an attractive useful load for a tandem two-seat aircraft. All loading configurations must comply with the approved weight and centre-of-gravity limitations. The underlying weighing documentation should be verified. AIRWORTHINESS & DOCUMENTATION The aircraft holds a Dutch Special Certificate of Airworthiness in the Homebuilt category. Issuing Authority: Civil Aviation Authority, The Netherlands Certificate Issue Date: 22 July 2026 Certificate Valid Until: 12 August 2027, unless revoked Aircraft Registration: PH-FLL Aircraft Serial Number: 81033 The aircraft is subject to the applicable national airworthiness and operating limitations. The existence of a valid Special Certificate of Airworthiness does not mean that the initial flight-test programme has been completed. Available documentation includes the aircraft flight manual, equipment list, Weight & Balance calculations, airworthiness certificate and extensive engine photographic records. FLIGHT-TEST STATUS This aircraft has never been flown. The owner has elected not to perform the initial flight himself and has not yet arranged for a suitable test pilot. There is no flight-test report or demonstrated aircraft-specific performance data. A qualified and appropriately authorised test pilot will be required to undertake the initial flight testing in accordance with the applicable requirements. A prospective purchaser may wish to nominate or agree upon a suitably experienced test pilot as part of the purchase arrangements. The RV-8A is a well-known, high-performance, tandem-seat amateur-built aircraft, appreciated by enthusiasts for its handling characteristics and sporting capabilities. PH-FLL offers the opportunity to acquire an unflown airframe with a substantial equipment installation and documented engine disassembly and reassembly work. It is particularly suited to a purchaser familiar with amateur-built aircraft who is prepared to organise the necessary pre-flight checks, initial flight testing and subsequent commissioning. Further information, photographs and documentation available to genuinely interested parties. Pre-purchase inspection welcome by appointment. Specifications and equipment subject to verification by purchaser. Aircraft sold in its present condition, subject to agreed contractual terms. Aircraft subject to prior sale or withdrawal from the market at any time and without notice. Price subject to change at any time and without notice.

LYCOMING IO-360-M1A

0

Engine Serial Number: L-28837-51A The engine was previously operated and has subsequently undergone extensive disassembly, internal inspection and reassembly. According to the owner, the work was carried out by a highly experienced aviation engine specialist with approximately 300 engine overhauls to his credit, particularly involving Lycoming engines. The owner reports that all major components were dimensionally inspected, found to be within new-part tolerances, and that the mandatory replacement parts were renewed. An extensive photographic record documents the disassembly and reassembly process, including the crankcase, cylinders, pistons and internal components. Important disclosure: No written engine work report, dimensional measurement records, replacement-parts list or engine test report is available. The engine is therefore not advertised as factory overhauled, factory rebuilt or zero-time. Independent technical inspection, compression testing, borescope examination and other reasonable checks are welcome by prior arrangement.
