New RV-4 Owner

Pttim

I'm New Here
I'm about to be the new owner of an RV-4 picking it up this weekend. Previously I was flying a Sonerai 2L (Poor mans RV-4) that I built myself.

When purchasing an RV-4 is it necessary to notify Van's? or is that just if you purchase a non finished kit and plans?

Thanks! Looking forward to this weekend

Tim
 
Not necessary but not a bad idea.

Congratulations for getting the best flying two place RV model.

Yes you should make sure it?s registered with Van?s if you ever want to buy any RV specific parts that only Van?s sells. I don?t think you can buy RV parts until Van?s has your plane in their database or they won?t support it.
 
Welcome to VAF

Tim, welcome aboard the good ship VAF.

I suggest you register with Vans, that way if anything related to the aircraft comes up in the future, they are able to contact you.

Good Luck, and enjoy:D
 
Hi Tim!

I'm the guy that bought smokyray's S-IIL. Welcome to VAF!

Tim,
It may be years (longer?) before that grin wears off.
Flying it is a blast.

Welcome aboard.

I suggest you get RV-4 specific training. There are some great folks out there.
PM me for a suggestion in TX.

From the very 1st flight, I knew I was holding a tiger by the tail.
After the training, I have become a MUCH better pilot, and flying my -4 is now like "putting on a pair of old jeans".

Happy Landings,
Daddyman
