Process of building an experimental aircraft during the last five years in my garage. It's a long way to the top if you want an RV4.....Credits to my wife Andrea and Willi, the dog, for beeing still here, Pat the personal bucking bar for help and support, my parents for some extra grease, Klaus for infecting me with the RV-virus, Doug Reeves for his fanastic www.vansairforce.net community, Van for his great design and support, Georg for all the tools and for teaching me how to land this thing and all the others on the way. The experience of a lifetime!!

It's just to bake the paint on. Some paints need to be cured under a good deal of heat. To temper, or bend the metal would take more temperature.

if you use a rotary engine in your rv4 (or any other vans aircraft) you can have a good solid powerplant for under 5grand for a 3rotor, or under 2grand for a 2 rotor.

I have been looking ... ( 2 months ago by renotsttam)

I have been looking into building one. The RV-4 will cost a minimum of about $35,000 all said and done, and can go over $50,0000 if you go nuts with a new engine, constant speed prop, advanced avionics, custom paint, etc. The basic airframe kit is about $15,000, and can be ordered one section at a time to spread out the cost. It's a hell of a plane for the money though, if you have the time.....

Oops, I meant $50,000.
