Hi Gang: My nephew picked up an abandoned RV-4 project which included the empanage and wing kit.
We are now suffering from sticker shock on the price and delivery of the fuselage kit. 13,000.00 and one to two year delivery.
I’m wondering if we should scratch build the fuselage. I can see through the aluminum metal work, but I’m wondering about the Steel Weldments.
Since Van’s will no longer sell the individual components (only the complete kit) do we know who fabricated the steel components for Van’s back in the day? Are they still doing it? I’m wondering if they will sell directly to us?
Cheers Terry.
