I just sold my RV 8 about 4 months ago and have been having a terrible case of "sellers remorse" ever since. I started looking at RV 3's & 4's ( in the trades). Can anyone out there tell me the difference between an RV 3, RV 3A & RV 3B? Something about wing fuel mods vs fuselage fuel mods? ( I dunno) And then there's also the RV 4, a two seater. There's a really nice looking 215 HP RV 3 Harmon Rocket for sale with an AEIO 360 1A engine in it. I know the IO 360 is a fuel injected 180 HP engine, so I don't know how he's getting the 215 HP? I also don't know what the "AE" stands for. I also don't know what a "catto" prop is. Can anyone enlighten me?
Then there's Van's home page on RV 3's. In it, Vans says with an RV 3, do not pull more than 4.4 G's unless you've had a a "spar modification" done. That sounds very scary AND expensive. How would one know if that's really been done or not?
Any help/advice/education you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.
