Description
Wilco Aviation is pleased to offer the exclusive listing of this Van’s RV-9A, registration G-CCND, a highly regarded two-seat touring aircraft renowned for its impressive efficiency, responsive handling and exceptional cross-country capability. Designed by Van’s Aircraft as a refined and more docile counterpart to the aerobatic RV models, the RV-9A has earned a strong reputation amongst pilots seeking a comfortable, economical and capable aircraft ideally suited to both local flying and longer touring adventures.
Currently located with us at Henstridge Airfield in the South West of England, G-CCND presents as a well-cared-for example of the type and offers an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the most popular aircraft within the Van’s line-up. Combining modern kit-built engineering with outstanding real-world performance, the RV-9A delivers a flying experience that is both rewarding and practical.
Introduced in 2001, the RV-9A was developed to provide a more forgiving and efficient aircraft than its aerobatic siblings, whilst still retaining the enjoyable handling qualities for which the RV range is famous. Featuring a longer wingspan and optimised aerofoil design, the RV-9A offers improved low-speed characteristics, excellent stability and impressive fuel efficiency. The tricycle undercarriage configuration of the “A” model further enhances ease of handling on the ground, making it an approachable and confidence-inspiring aircraft for pilots of varying experience levels.
Constructed primarily from aluminium, the RV-9A features side-by-side seating beneath a large bubble canopy, providing outstanding visibility for both pilot and passenger. The cockpit environment feels spacious and modern, while the aircraft’s light yet stable control harmony creates an engaging flying experience that has become synonymous with the RV series.
Performance remains one of the RV-9A’s strongest attributes. Capable of efficient cruise speeds whilst maintaining comparatively low operating costs, the aircraft is exceptionally well suited to touring throughout the UK and Europe alike. Its combination of economy, useful load and speed makes it one of the most versatile aircraft available in the amateur-built touring category.
The RV-9A’s reputation for reliability and practicality has contributed significantly to the worldwide success of Van’s Aircraft, with thousands of RV aircraft now flying globally. Owners and pilots consistently praise the type for its blend of performance, handling and operational simplicity, qualities that continue to make the RV-9A one of the most sought-after models in the experimental and permit aircraft market.
G-CCND represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a well-presented example of this respected and highly capable touring aircraft. Offering modern performance, excellent visibility, enjoyable handling and economical operation, it is an aircraft equally at home on local flights, weekend touring trips or longer European adventures.
