Greetings all,
I'm in the market for an RV 4, taking my time to do the research before joining the Vans AF. I've read many of the threads, and the "Newbie Info". As much as I'd love to build, realistically I don't have the time (yet) I'm about a 500hr tail dragger pilot.
So, I'd love to find a 180hp w/CS prop. However, I don't want to turn my nose up at a good 160hp, C/S either. Anybody have any experience with both and can elaborate on the performance differences.
Also, and with my gratitude in advance for your patience, experience and much respect for helping me through the learning curve here concerning RVs. I would love to hear from anyone who would like to throw some words of wisdom/caution my way ref what to look for structurally in an RV 4. Any common errors, lessons learned, specific areas to focus on, problem areas, potential faults, and anything else that might save my ***!
I'm in no hurry and have been nosing around the EAAers at a couple local airports for info as well.
Thanx again!
