1999 Vans Van's RV-6A

Located at our showroom in Lee-on-Solent, G-ONUN, a Vans RV-6A, is a well-maintained and thoughtfully upgraded example of this highly regarded Permit aircraft. Combining strong performance with excellent handling and modern avionics, it is equally suited to cross-country touring, short-field operations, and light aerobatics. Powered by a 180HP Lycoming O-360-A1A engine and paired with a Prince P-Tip carbon two-blade fixed-pitch propeller, the aircraft delivers an engaging and efficient flying experience. ‍ In terms of performance, the aircraft cruises at approximately 140 knots at 2,400 RPM and 1,000 ft, with higher speeds achievable at altitude. An economy cruise setting yields around 125 knots with a fuel burn of less than 28 litres per hour, making it both capable and cost-effective to operate. The addition of the RV-8 vertical stabiliser enhances directional stability and improves spin characteristics, while its responsive low-speed handling makes it particularly well suited to short strips and recreational aerobatics. ‍ The cockpit is clean, modern, and highly functional, featuring a Dynon SkyView Touch EFIS, Mode-S transponder, integrated autopilot, and 8.33 kHz radio. The interior is finished with red and grey leather seating, offering both comfort and style. ‍ Externally, the aircraft presents in a striking red and white scheme. It is equipped with LED navigation and strobe lighting, as well as an LED landing light. Additional features include a new battery installed in March 2026 and an included tow bar. Priced at £90,000, this RV-6A represents a versatile and well-equipped aircraft offering excellent value in today’s market. ‍ Please get in touch for more details or to schedule your viewing. ‍
