Vans Aircraft Build Site. A site showing details of the build of my Vans RV4 and RV9.This page is RV 4 work in progress. Sunday, 15 September 2013. Now the only thing to do is the weight and balance check, submit the paperwork to the LAA and once the permit to test is through G.BVLR will after almost 20 years in the build, do what it is supposed to do. FLY! Test pipework, the first tap regulates pressure, second is on/off. Note fly on Andy's forehead blasted there by the prop wash! German RV 4 web site.

Vans Aircraft Build Site. A site showing details of the build of my Vans RV4 and RV9.This page is RV 4 work in progress. Sunday, 22 September 2013. I did the weight and balance yesterday, it came out at just under at 1011lbs, not bad as it has a Sensenich metal prop. I now have to complete all the paperwork to obtain the permit to test. Here I am doing a horrible job draining the fuel tanks so the weight and balance can be done. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. This is what I...

Vans Aircraft Build Site. A site showing details of the build of my Vans RV4 and RV9.This page is RV 4 work in progress. Thursday, 19 September 2013. I ran the RV 4 for about 1/2 an hour yesterday doing taxi tests. Its the firt time it has moved under its own power. It felt just like the Tailwind on the ground, very positive, which is not surprising as the Talwind had all RV4 landing gear. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch?

http://aerobuilder.blogspot.com/2013/11/14th-july-1992.html
Vans Aircraft Build Site. A site showing details of the build of my Vans RV4 and RV9.This page is RV 4 work in progress. Thursday, 14 November 2013. 4th July 1992 is the date I ordered my RV4 Kit from Vans and sent the money by bank transfer, so I guess I actually started building by October 1992. Now, after 21 years G.BVLR has taken to the air! Please remember in this time I have built or rebuilt several other aeroplanes, built half a house, two hangars and dealt with all life's twists and turns. Matt D...

http://aerobuilder.blogspot.com/p/rv9a-build-site.html
Vans Aircraft Build Site. A site showing details of the build of my Vans RV4 and RV9.This page is RV 4 work in progress. We decided to power our RV9 with a WAM 120 Turbo Diesel. At the time Jet A1 was cheap, before those money grabbing Eurocrats put up the tax on it. I built this mock firewall forward package for display at the then PFA international rally. This is one of their early engines fitted with the smaller intercooler and coolant radiator in front of the engine. This is the cowl as it is now....

Next I put the aircraft in the flight position referenced the same was as when doing the weight and balance with the cockpit rail level. I had put back what fuel I had pumped off in the previous test so had 1 L in each tank. Mark Bolto...
