Description
Offered for sale is a clean, highly equipped 2020 Van's RV-9 taildragger, N17WA, with just 265 hours total time, based at North Las Vegas (KVGT). The RV-9 is known for its efficient, high-aspect-ratio wing, delivering excellent fuel economy, smooth ride quality, and forgiving low-speed handling, making it one of the best cross-country platforms in experimental aviation. This example stands out with a 180 HP Lycoming O-360 and constant-speed prop, providing a meaningful performance upgrade over typical builds. Equipped with a full Garmin G3X Touch suite, IFR-capable Garmin GTN 650, integrated autopilot, and remote audio system, N17WA offers true modern glass capability. Thoughtful upgrades, including wingtip LED lighting, carbon fiber reinforcement, and a precision tailwheel steering link reflect a well-executed, no-compromise build. With low time, complete logs, and a high-end avionics stack, this is a turnkey RV-9 that justifies its price through capability, condition, and equipment. Based at North Las Vegas Airport (KVGT).
