?SHACK? Smokey
Good call Billy Joe Ray Bob!
As a -4 owner/builder and having been an RV guy now since 1996 (saw my first -4 at OSH 1984 and WANTED ONE!), I?m noticing a BIG uptick in RV-4 LUV! In my Airpark alone there has been 4 RV-4 purchases in the last year. However I advice builder wanna-be?s to BUILD a RV-7 or 8 because the kits are sooooo much ?easier? (a ridiculous term I agree). Having owned all three but only built a four, there is no doubt the -4 flies better ?as a pilot? than the others and I know several ?other? RV drivers that have migrated back to the -4 for the ?look? and the ?feel?. In my humble opinion if Vans were to build an ?easy? (-er) -4 kit the masses would build it. There is still a market for ?sport? flying and as I?m seeing -4 prices in Barnstormers and TradeAPlane going North........why not Vans?
As always, dos centavos
