Too cool Chad! That looks great...
Maybe it can be lowered during Airventure and Van can take it around the patch a couple of times...

Great looking display but I have to agree with some of the others - In my mind "Museum quality" is not the same thing as "airworthy".

Reassured
I was in the museum last winter during the 60th anniversary of EAA celebration and I was VERY concerned when the original RV-4 was replaced by the RV-1 and they did not even change the ID plaque. I thought how insulting that they did not show more respect for the most prolific line of homebuilt airplanes. The new display is a relief to see and I now know what I saw was in preparation for something much better. Now all they need is an example of THE most prolific homebuilt model ever, the RV-6(A).

RV-1, -3, and -4 At EAA Museum
Looks really nice Chad. Hope to be back there someday to see it in person. Hope you can utilize the RV-1 Tour DVD.

The display would look a little cleaner if the elevators were placed inline.........
It's like when a picture is posted of their sleek RV?? and the canopy is up, flaps are down and the rudder is offset.......
Doesn't look sleek.

Hanging it was a good choice. The gear legs are a bit, umm, asymmetrical...
...so it will display better with the weight off them.
Jay Pratt, Stan Tew, and yours truly spent most of a Saturday evening aligning and trimming wheel pants on crooked gear. The museum photos say the Three Man Averaging method does a pretty good job

The display looks great!
Although it was pretty cool seeing it right outside my window here at Stanley International to.

Looks Great
My wife and I were at the museum yesterday and looked at the display in person. We thought it looked awesome! Those of you that will make it to ?Oshkosh 2013? will like the display IMHO.

RV-4
Does anyone have a photo of the RV-4 prototype instrument panel?
When the RV-4 first came out it was featured in Sport Aviation with an interview with Van. Does anyone have a digital copy of the article they could send me?
Thanks, John
