RV8 For Sale
Well, I had hoped it would be another 20 years before I had to write this, but I have lost my medical.
So, my award and race winning RV8 “Nuisance” is for sale. I am asking $125K for her.
I have a website that is not quite up to date at
http://lazy8.net/rv8.html
The airplane has about 550 hours tach time. The blended airfoil prop has about 250 since new.
If you like to fly fast, or just fly with your buds and use less fuel, here is a good airplane for you. Last year she won the metal airplane class at the CAFÉ Fuel Venture 400 for fuel efficiency. She has dominated the RV classes at the SARL races since they started, and in fact the only time she finished second in the last five years was this summer’s AirVenture Cup, where she got beaten by Dave Anders. That includes beating the so-called fast one, Dick Martin, in his 390 powered RV8, 3 times. A number of times in SARL races she beat Rockets on half the fuel.
She now has a full glass panel with mechanical backups…Garmin 696, AFS-3500, Garmin 430W and 327 xponder, and TruTrak Digiflight II VSGV. She has always been hangared, and is in excellent condition.

John,
I just returned home from a visit with my daughter in Washington, DC.
I am sorry to hear that you lost your medical, and will miss seeing you and competing your at all of the air races that you and I usually compete in.
I have always admired the performance that you have obtained from your RV8. I can handle the dig in this post.
I stil hope to see you again at some future aviation event. Also, if you and your wife decide to travel to Spruce Creek this winter, I would hope to see you. Of course you are welcome in my condo.
I wish you the best of luck in the future.
Dick Martin
the now unchallenged fast one
