Steve,
I saw an RV6 in the hangar while getting gas at GRE last summer, and there is a
builders group in STL. What's your flight experience? Have you any Taildragger
time? (do you like gladiator movies...just kidding..ha!) The RV4 is the single
best compromise civilian sportplane I have flown. Absolutely the biggest bang
for the buck and you won't find anything that compares, aside from the RV3.
The newer RV's are way more expensive and heavier and just don't fly the same.
Go to Doug Reeves website www.vansairforce.net and go to the RV builders log on the left side. It has a list of all the RV dudes in your area. Your local EAA chapter will also have info on them. You might even have one closeby. Good luck!

Is anybody on this list? Is there any finished RV-4's around central
Illinois?
Would like to set in one and maybe go for a ride. Looks like a great
airplane..

Steve :
There are still a few of us on the RV-4 list.
We have a finished RV-4 in Western Arkansas but it is kinda far from
Illinois.
It wouldn't be real far to fly but I am out of medical and not flying at the
present time.
The Rv-4 is the most fun plane I have flown in more than 8,000 hours of
ASEL, including gliders. We have built two of them with 150 HP and wood prop.
It makes a light and agile short field plane with very good cruise speed
too. We have an 1100' grass strip on our farm and it is plenty of room for the
RV-4. There just isn't anything comparable to it. Since flying more than
750 hrs. in the RV-4 ; everything else seems like a dog.
