Product Information

Since 1973 Van's Aircraft has sold over 18,000 kits and plans, with over 8,000 airplanes completed and flying in 45 countries. In the U.S. alone the number of RVs completed each year exceeds the combined production of all commercial general aviation companies. The RV-8 is Van's latest design that features tandem centerline seating, for those fighter pilot types who like to sit in the middle. Like all RVs, the RV-8 climbs well, lands slowly, and goes fast.

Seagull Models has now made a 40cc size RV-8 that inherits all of the great flying qualities of the full-scale airplane. Responsive, agile, and capable of all the basic aerobatic manoeuvres. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa and plywood, with a well-engineered laser-cut design that allows the airplane to be kept light. The genuine Oracover film, plus beautifully moulded and painted fibreglass cowl and wheel pants add to its sleek look. 

A wonderful airplane for sport aerobatic flying.
