If I were to build an RV it would definitely be an RV8. However, time and money currently stand in the way. Therefore I have decided to purchase an RV4. My budget will be $50,000. I will have a "partner" who is an A&P with experience restoring and rebuilding everything from Cubs to a Republic Sea- Bee (he also earned a living fixing the Concorde). He has no kitplane experience. He is certainly capable of assessing the engine and avionics. We live on Long Island and fly my 1972 Cessna 150 as often as possible. My concern revolves around making sure the airplane is structurally safe, sound and has been built according to the designer's specifications. I want a plane I can confidently fly my wife and children in.
Please make recommendations on how to best proceed.
Thanks in advance...
