The Gobosh 800XP is an American light-sport aircraft marketed by Gobosh Aviation of Moline, Illinois. The 800XP was introduced in 2008 and is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.^[1]

By 2016 the company website had been taken down and the company had likely gone out of business.^[2]

The 800XP is a development of the Aveko VL-3 Sprint, adapted to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules, by increasing the wing area and raising the gross weight from 472.5 to 600 kg (1,042 to 1,323 lb).
