I'm New Here
Hey folks, newbie here
I'm an old school tube a fabric builder finally coming around to the whole RV thing. I have spent some good time researching all the different models online and have flown a buddies RV-9 years ago.
I really think the -4 fits me well but wanted some expert opinions here. Why did you all decide on it? It seems to me that over the years there is the RV crowd and then there is the RV-4 crowd. Not sure why maybe it just seems that way. Anyhow, the extra work involved in not having the holes punched doesn't really bother me so that didn't enter the equation for me.
From what I understand I need to order the preview plans than if I decide to build it I buy the emenage first right? Then after it's done I order the next section???? Is that how people do it or do they just order the whole package.
To me it makes sense to not have all the extra airplane materials laying around that could potentialy get damaged. Not sure how to approach it I guess.
Just wondering if you guys could help me a little by telling me why you finally decided on the -4 and how you got started etc.
I really appreciate the advice, knowledge, and any stories you have.
