RV-4A?
I've heard rumors this exists... if anyone has pictures, I'd love to see them as I'm building one from a salvage fuse.
Thanks,
-Bruce

I recall reading an article about some guy who modified his -4 into a -4A but IIRC, this was pre-internet days (Yes, I am that old). I just did a search, which I'm sure you did as well, but couldn't find a picture of it.

I keep trying to picture a -4a, but it's not going well. Might have actually induced a cringe. Why take an easy landing, beautiful ship and flip the wheel around?!
Nay-saying aside, I'd read that build blog with interest and encouragement.

Better make sure you have the long gear legs.

Why? If you wheel-land the -4 what's the difference? The prop will still clear.

first time i hear about a -4A... But i guess you know about the -4RG?
there are definitely some oddities out there, to the point that van's denies to use the RV model name...
