N866AC

This airframe, registered as N866AC, is an example of the American Champion 8KCAB Super Decathlon built in 2000 with serial number 866-2000 by American Champion Aircraft. The documented owner is Mark F Kramer, an individual based in Lynden, WA, US, and the aircraft is operated from that locale as its home base. Registration and transfer history beyond the current owner is not published. Condition and valuation summaries are not published for this specific airframe.

The airframe is configured with a tandem two-seat cabin, reflecting the Super Decathlon’s dual-control aerobatic layout and training orientation. Avionics fit for this specific airframe are not published, but the cabin seating and control arrangement indicate primary use for dual instruction, aerobatic practice, and short cross-country flights consistent with the aircraft’s range and cruise figures. Based in Lynden, WA, the operator profile under Mark F Kramer suggests local recreational and training operations rather than commercial charter; notable maintenance records or unique onboard amenities for this serial are not published. Routine maintenance considerations for this type of aircraft typically focus on airframe and control surface rigging, engine inspections for the Lycoming AEIO-360-H1B, and compliance with aerobatic flight equipment checks.

The American Champion 8KCAB Super Decathlon occupies a niche as a two-seat, aerobatic-capable light aircraft favored by flight schools and private owners seeking advanced aerobatic and utility performance. With a cruise of 127 kts and a practical range of 440 nm, it competes with other tandem aerobatic trainers and light sport aerobatic designs in the used market. Buyer demand is generally driven by condition, aerobatic history, and engine hours; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe would emphasize inspection of airframe fatigue from aerobatic use and maintenance status of the Lycoming AEIO-360-H1B engine.
