Here is a link to photo gallery containing pictures of the restoration if anyone is interested. It's a good look into the strip and repaint process start to finish. |

Looks fantastic! I recall seeing that -4 on Barnstormers and wasn't a fan of the paint. I think you made the right choice!

Beautiful!!!

WOW!!
Talk about sweat equity! Original builder must have liked John Deere farm equipment. Though, it looks like he built a nice bird for you to take it from there. I love the changes you made. 1) What did you come across that needed fixing? 2) Is yours a short gear RV-4 I am having a hard time telling. I used to get to fly a short gear 360 powered 4 previously and was not a fan of the short gear with the long prop. It was safe, just a consideration that always was on my mind anyway. 3) How may hours did you put into her for paint? 4) What's the weight difference (did you save any??) :) |

1) Pulled tanks to fix small leaks, install new senders and safety wire fuel pick-up tubes per SB. Rebuilt brakes, installed new tail wheel(had the old non swiveling) Took care of any SB's that weren't complied with and did a thorough conditional inspection. 2)Tall gear-with HD weldments/gussets were a must for me. 3)Didn't keep track of hours. Six months of spare time. Pulling and refinishing the interior drastically increased time spent. 4) Weight was a wash-1070lbs. empty |
