Getting to end of empennage and wrestling with the next step, QB is
attractive but a lot more money (particularly when you add the
shipping etc) and it also appears you have to order both wing and
fuselage at the same time as they are a matched set, unfortunately the
web site also says you have to order both items at the same time if you want
to go partial QB (i.e.
QB wings and standard fuselage or QB fuse and standard wings) which
were options I was considering as a balance of cost (paid
incrementally over
time) and build time. Do I understand the web information correctly?
Also if the partial QB is chosen, given a choice of standard wing or
standard fuselage which would be more practical considering I am
working by myself (no riveting helper at this time for example) in garage.
Thanks

Nope. You can order QB wings and SB fuselage. Give them a
call. I ordered the QB wings and SB fuselage. I didn't want to
do the same thing twice. I really enjoyed building my fuselage
but I'm very glad I didn't have to do two wings (and two tanks!).

Hi Phil,
I have the Bob Archer antennas in my wing tips. I have the Nav and MB in one tip
and the Comm in the other. I'm also adding a Comm antenna to the bottom of the
plane.
I had originally set up my antennas with RG58 but at the recommendation of 'lectric
Bob' I'm switching out with RG400.
My wings have the Duckworks Landing lights. I chose Aeroflash for the strobes and
used the Bill Dube LED position light system. If I had new construction I would
do the wing tip landing light and LED system with Aeroflash Strobes. This
provides a combination of efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Avery has a basic RV builder's tool kit that will be a very good starting
point for you. I strongly recommend getting your tools from Avery. Their
tools are great, and their customer service is always very excellent.
Cleaveland, on the other hand, has given me very poor and unresponsive
customer service. You can read about my tools in detail at

Best wishes on your project,
brian

I have had a lot of trouble with Aeroflash, I have replaced the big
discharge capacitors at least twice in each power supply over 5
years...Not difficult but it is a pain. It sure beats the $50 per repair
by sending the unit back to aeroflash.
Did you have aproblem with the RG 58 installation? How well did the comm
antenna work in the wing tip??

Lucio,
It all depends on what kind of tools you already have in your shop. Or do you have
access to tools locally. If you don't have any tools and none are available
locally then the tool kits from Cleaveland are good.
Mike

I did check with Van's and their suggestion if I wanted to build the
fuselage first (due to the matched drilling of the fuselage center section
and wing spars) was to order slow build fuselage with the wing spar which
they would match drill and hold until the QB wing was ordered and then
incorporate the spar into QB wings (and credit the spar cost against the QB
wing price), drilled fuselage center section would then be delivered with
the fuselage standard kit. Seems like a reasonable compromise of cost and
build time.

I built my entire slow build rv4 fuse by myself except for the very end,
when I stuffed my girlfriend into the tail cone to buck a few rivets (see
attached picture). Otherwise, it can all be done solo.
