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".

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?
