Hey guys/gals
I'm looking to buy a rv4 that was finished in 2003 but was a kit from the 90's I believe.
I know of the weldment issues on the old ones and can't seem to find a good set of pictures on here as to how to identify which it has or where exactly to look for issues with these (besides the fact that they are on the aft side in the corners of the firewal). It does have the long gear legs if that makes any difference.
Also, the airplane has an io360 and C/S hartzel and the thinner elevator skins and I've read horror stories about that combo? Where exactly do the elevators start cracking? Pictures would be great! The airplane is still unpainted so is easy to inspect.
Airframe/engine TT 500hrs
Any additional words of wisdom would be appreciated greatly!
Pictures speak 1000 words
Thanks guys
