RV-4
 

Just got a Great Planes RV-4 ARF from a friend. I need any suggestions on building it and/or what I am to expect as I go through the process of building. Any information would be very helpful. Thanks. [sm=regular_smile.gif]

I'm assuming a kit, not the ARF????

RE: RV-4
 

So sorry, it is the ARF. I'll fix that

RE: RV-4
 

Do you have a manual?
If you look on the Great Planes website you will find instruction manuals for their planes that you can download.

RE: RV-4
 

Yes, I have the manual. I am just asking for any information that I am to expect during the process of building. Any help that I can use that will help me or make the process easier for me. I am not a very experience builder. I have a Will Hobby FW-190. I have looked at the manual. It seems to be very hard. I just need information to help me build the RV-4.

Any more help would be great...

Thanks
Max

My advice to you would be to work slowly and FOLLOW the manual, the manufacturer spent considerable time putting these together, I know, I worked for one at one time, good luck!!

We have got the wings done and have the elevators and ruder glued into the stabs.

Thanks
