Hello all I've been a pilot flying a Cherokee since 2006. I have recently started flying an RV4 with about 40 hrs so far. I am loving it, this little plane is so docile and just a blast to fly. I am now leaning towards selling my Cherokee and upgrading to an RV4. I want to start looking very soon into this.
Now for all you RV4 owners/builders, can you give me some knowledge as to what I should be looking for in an already built RV4.
For example;
What flaws should I really be looking for in the build?
What years come with the longer gear, and is this better?
What year frames are actually better?
Is there supposed to be a G meter that is un-resettable to monitor the G stress levels on the RV?
I'm really wanting information on what to look at on the airframe. I know the engine and avionics are a whole separate case as far as value goes.
Any knowledgeable information that I can get would be so helpful. I appreciate any replies and look forward in talking with all of you.
Thank you
