Seller Notes
This is a beautiful, simple, lightweight, and incredibly fun RV-4. The original Imron paint has held up remarkably well over the years, and the polished aluminum wing and horizontal stabilizer leading edges give it an incredibly sharp, classic look on the ramp. It has been incredibly reliable, and the only reason I am putting it up for sale (or looking for a partner) is a simple lack of personal free time to fly it as much as it deserves.
