It all depends on how your -4 is equipped, Mine has a big engine and MT CS prop, CG is not an issue, I have carried a 6?6? 250lb passenger with no problems ( this is in CG for my -4) and my seat & roll bar is moved back 1? from stock, I do have the foot wells. As for comfort, this depends on how the seat cushions are fashioned, I can exhaust my fuel range with 200lb passenger with good comfort for both, My Dad?s -4 would kill you in 45 minuets tell he made some nice cushions, the angles of the seat need to be higher at the front so your not sitting on your tail bone. So take a look at the weight and balance and see if it will fit your mission. I find CG to be very important, I will not operate out side of it?s range but gross weight is set very conservative so mine has been raised a good bit, basically its raised up to the point I can load it to its aft CG This will depend on the empty CG of the -4 your looking at. The airplane flies very well loaded to the aft limit but it is a very different handling plane loaded aft then solo so you work your way up to further aft loads, don?t fly it a couple hours solo and then jut load it all up and go, this could be exciting. We take ours on CC flights often and have ample baggage to stay a week or so. The -4 is probably Van?s best effort and is the best value when buying a flying RV, there would be a lot more if they would make a modern kit for it, pre punched.
