An online log of the making of a RV-4 experimental aircraft. Friday, June 28, 2013. A fundamental change of things. The RV-4 will be put on hold for some time. I have just ordered a Onex. I have no hangar space. I want to use Mogas. When the Onex is finished, I can continue to build the RV-4, hopefully with a ULPower engine that runs on mogas. And of course, I just love the Onex, a single seater aerobatic airplane with a VW engine. Nothing can beat the charm of that.
