Last night a flying buddy brought this airplane to my attention. We have both been looking for a larger RV-4 or 8. We both have the GP 1/4 scale RV-4 arfs and we LOVE them. I contacted Aztech Aeromodels and discovered that they are only an hour's drive from where I live. Azhar (the owner of Aztech) offered to hand-deliver the plane to me the next day.(today) How could I say no? The airplane is a great deal at $290.00, delivered in CONUS. Unpacked, I found it to be 100% damage-free. It also turned out to be 100% manual-free, but I couldn't find anything in the box that I didn't recognize, so I'm not worried about it.

The covering is classic "Chinakote", nicely applied. No wrinkles anywhere. Near as I can tell, everything is here that should be except the manual. Aztech is in the process of writing a new manual, so perhaps that explains it. The hardware was a pleasant surprise. With the possible exception of the tailwheel assy., everything seems usable. The tank stopper appears to be for glow rather than gas. I have a 16 oz. DuBro ready to go, so I'll be using it instead of the supplied tank. Would have been nice if the L/G had been white instead of black as it's exposed on the bottom of the fuselage. Here are some pics.
