Default Thanks..

....Todd,
It was also my first RV-4 flight! Despite a little forward sweep in the left wing, it flies absolutely hands-off. I found out what many on this forum have said..."It just ain't that critical" as long as the incidence is close. I really am impressed with the -4 and he hangars it along with my -6A and the Air Tractor with flight privileges any time I want!!

Regards,
