hi all,
been awhile since I've posted on here. long story short, I'm an engineer who currently owns a nice little c150 and am having a ball flying it but have the speed itch already! i don't want to invest $100k into an rv8/7 when i can have a fast back 180hp c/s rv4 with james cowls etc (idea is to build a 180hp rocket) for much less, I'm 70kg at most and my mrs is 55kg, both short and would love to start building a speed machine. will/would i regret building the rv4 over an 8? my only concern is back seat weight limits of the rv4 and build time. I'm in the best possible position to build that anyone could be in by working for an airline with access to all the tools etc an rv builder could want plus help from fellow engineers! any help would be great!!
James
