Default Folding wing RV-4

I came across an ad for a folding-wing RV-4 on Barnstormers today. Does anyone on here know anything about this airplane and who built it?

Default Boy that would sure help out putting it into the hanger.

As best as I can tell the number is N703AF, but I can't find a registration for it.

Default Navy/Carrier RV-4?

Would love to see the details on this. Would make trailering to/from airport practical! Who DOES these things?

Registration shows N7034F is an RV-4 with a Subaru engine.

AHH!! Gives me goose bumps to think about flying in something that has folding wings, that wasn't designed to! I wonder if someone should tell him his ELT is in sideways, and baby blue doesn't go with candy apple red. =)
