The original RV-4 kits were not & are not available in QB, pre-punched,
pre-marked, pre-aligned, pre-anything, no jigs required....in other
words. YOU measure, build, drill, jig, alignment line, one step up from
plans built. Since you have a 6A, think about a HRII Rocket. Ya take
some -4 parts, some parts from John Harmon, invest in a 540 Lyco as we
did and build an HRII for about the same price as a -4. But you get an
RV-4 on steroids. Since the RV-10 the price of 540's has gone up. When
we build the Rocket they were cheaper than a IO-360. I assume you have
ridden in both the -4 & an HRII.....if not do so as soon as possible. Is
the HRII harder to build than a -4 ?..Yes, a little, but well worth the
extra work. Too bad your in Ohio or we would give a ride in N561FS. I'm
going to post on the Rocket list so watch your e-mail, someone near
ya'll may offer you a ride. I assume you built the -6A so an HRII is
just more of the same and "Mo Better". Do Not Archive KABONG

Subject: RV-List: RV-4 Tail Kit Advise
List, I am getting the urge to build an RV-4 to set next to my
RV6-A in the hanger. Since I want to build this one as reasonable as
possible orphaned kits are a good option.
I have located a 1989 Tail Kit with very little done
at an excellent price. Question for RV-4 Builders: Are the 1989 kits
less advanced than the newer ones? RV-4 kits appear to have made fewer
advances.......pre drilled skins....QB, etc? Any reason other than
corrosion to stay away from the 1989 tail kit?
Thanks, Tom in Ohio
