Vans RV-7

For sale, a beautifully built and well-presented Van's RV-7, G-RVUK, combining excellent performance, handling and operating economy. Finished in an attractive white and deep burgundy scheme with matching wheel spats, the aircraft presents extremely well throughout, with a beautifully finished cockpit and excellent attention to detail that reflects the quality of the build. Powered by a Lycoming O-360-A1A and fitted with a Hartzell constant-speed propeller, G-RVUK offers strong take-off and climb performance together with excellent high-speed touring capability. The aircraft has 833.45 airframe and engine hours, and is fresh from its annual inspection completed in June 2026. The propeller is currently away undergoing its scheduled inspection. A particular strength of this aircraft is its exceptionally low basic empty weight of just 485.8 kg. With an 817 kg MTOW, this provides a very healthy useful load of around 331 kg, making G-RVUK especially practical for two-seat touring with fuel and baggage. The cockpit is well equipped with a Dynon D180 EFIS/EMS, moving-map GPS, Icom radio, Transponder and conventional standby instrumentation, while the spacious side-by-side layout makes it equally suited to high-speed touring and local flying. The aircraft is professionally maintained on an LAA Permit to Fly, currently valid until 8 June 2027, and comes with airframe, engine and propeller logbooks documenting its maintenance history. A highly attractive RV-7 with the desirable 180 hp Lycoming and constant-speed Hartzell combination, exceptionally low empty weight, beautiful build quality and superb all-round capability.
