Status: offline 		I just got a Harmon rocket for x-mas and took her up last weekend. It was great. If your not set with the RV-4 then you might want to look into the rocket. I only flew it twice last weekend. It is my 3rd plane also. I tried to do some aerobatic stuff but my knees were still knocken agianst each other so I didnt try to much but it will do them. This was my intro to 4 strokes aslo. I put a YS 63 on it.

Its just a suggestion

I believe that Mr. Pettit will be powering his RV-4 with an OS .91 four-stroke.

But you are correct....there are many power plant options for this airplane.

Enjoy!

Here it is after only about 10 hours of work.

Still need to add receiver, battery, canopy and pilot.

It will be a great match for the RV-4....and who doesn't love the sweet sound of a 4-stroke!
Have a great weekend guys.

Status: offline 		Very nice pics pettit,

It actually looks nicer on your bench than it does on the GP site. I'm
really more impressed with the scheme now that I've seen it with a real
background as well as it being a good quality picture.

Not precisely, would be electric or gas for me. I hope GP will have one in exhibit at the Wram show. I wonder how easy it would be to fit a Brillelli 26 in that cowling... If not gas, the electric conversion is easy to do as there is a lot of room, and planning went into the design to make it an easy conversion:-)
I hope to see Great Plane's 80 amp or bigger brushless controllers arrive soon to the market:-)

The Reno warehouse will receive the RV-4 kits first.

Status: offline 		Neither. It's a scale model and it most likely flies like a full scale RV4. (Mildly fast and mildly aerobatic.)
