Looking to get into an RV-4
Hey, I'm new to the forum. I really want to buy a flying RV-4. I live in Seattle WA and would like to find one for sale in the area. I'm also looking for an instructor in the area that can give me my tail-wheel endorsement and preferably has RV experience.
Thanks,
Eric

What took you so long?
Eleven minutes to send out a welcome, Mike. Your're slipping! I think you should change your screen name to WelcomeWagon.

I've got two words for you: "Smoky Ray". Get in touch with Rob "Smoky" Ray on this forum. He's an RV-4 finding machine!

Mike Seager - Training.
If your looking to fly an Vans RV Tailwheel airplane,my advice is make the appointment with Mike Seager. He books up quickly for good reason. He helped me out a great deal so I can recommend him with confidence.
Here is a good motivational video about Mike.

I am in the Seattle area so if you want to see an RV-4 in person. Let me know what airport is close to you.
George

George,
Hey thanks, I sent you a PM with my contact info. I would like to come take a look at you RV. I know I want one but I have not actually seen one in person. I work at Boeing up by Pain Field. I will also probably be flight training at Snohomish airport this weekend. Or, I can come to you, whatever is easiest for you.
Thanks,
Eric
