The net result is, I have an exceptional example of an RV-4 for sale. 1994 160 C/S 850 Snew AF & Eng Air Flow Perf, Christen Inv Oil, Inv Fuel, 1- Lightspeed, 1 Mag, Dynon D-10, KX155 w/GS, Rnav Star 5000 GPS, Terra digital X-ponder, Navaid, AlTrak, Infinity stick grip, etc etc etc..... I have flown this airplane 550 hours in 3 years all over the country in all sorts of weather. Solo, it will run 170 kts TAS down low and 152 kts at 17,000 ft on 5.2 gph. Almost 30 NMPG!!!! The builder was a machinist and it shows. It took me a full year to get it away from him. I kept looking at other airplanes and, if you have done that, you know that good airplanes are very hard to find. If you want to haggle the price is $75,000. If you want to buy the airplane it is $65,000. It is worth that. The bonus is, if you buy it, I promise I will never pass you in the Rocket. The rest of you are fair game, Check Six!!!!

I spoke to Mark at SnF and he told me you had "done the deed". The skies of Iowa will be even safer now. :-) James On 4/16/06, B25Flyer wrote: > > --> RV-List message posted by: "B25Flyer" > > All, > > I finally succummed to Rocket Fever and bought Mark Fredrick's Rocket, > Ole' 84.

I did use some over size washers on the back side. By the way I like the system a lot, always starts easy, back-up mags and no extra batteries needed.

This makes for nice ridget mounting. It also made for a neat clean hook up for the MAP line from cyl. #3.

My first BFR after my RV-4 was finished was done in the new RV-4 , with the instructor in back with throttle quadrant and stick. The second time he said," They say I have to fly with you but they don't say how. YOU get in the back" !! He was a professional air show performer , so you know how that went - I got instruction !!

Like you I started with the flaps and it was not the answer! In order to get anywhere near the point of balancing the control force out I had turned the rod end bearings 10 full turns making a flap that drooped noticably more down than the other. The nines flaps are much bigger than the eights and should have more effect, but not enough to fix anything. Next I tried off setting the ailerons. On the first attempt it didn't work because the ailerons just return to trail and the stick is leaned over a little bit. But then the idea hit of only adjusting one aileron and this did fix the problem if only in a draggy way. My thought was like this, whether it is real or not. Again this adjustment did fix the heavy wing. Think of the bell crank as a cam that is off set with the aileron moving up having close to twice the travel as the opposite aileron moving down or close to twice the leverage. With this in mind I adjusted the aileron on the light wing down in 1/2 turn increments on the rod end bearing and test flew in between. This worked by deflecting the heavy side aileron down slightly in flight and getting rid of the heavy wing. The result was an aileron that was down in flight though. What I found was that if you look at the heavy wing in flight before adjusting this way you can see how much you are deflecting the aileron down to fly level. Use this as a guage when setting the opposite aileron down. After adjusting it down return the light side up to neutral and clamp it. At this point look at the heavy side and see if the aileron is deflected down the amount or close to it that you saw in flight. Lastly I got tired of this droopy aileron and pulled the ailerons and removed the brackets from the ailerons them selves. I slotted the holes and re-installed everything. Here is where the real magic happened. By raising and lowering the ailerons you can fine tune and your plane will fly hands off with both ailerons neutral. This will take patience but will be worth it. A 1/16" movement on the outboard of the aileron had dramatically more effect than 10 full turns on the flap rod end bearing. Amazing!
