I'm New Here
Hello: I'm the new owner of a storied (1986? #552) RV-4. I just got it, empennage finished and fuselage on wheels. I got it at Oshkosh for anyone who may have seen it there at the Aeromart (sorry if I bought it out from under you: lots of people were looking). It is supposed to include all parts: I haven't quite looked through all the boxes. Wings are not started.
I have been told that it's a good idea to build a plywood spar mock-up to put in the channel through the fuselage: this could also help me move/store it (I'm not going to be able to start on it for a few months).
Does anyone know what the dimensions of the spar channel are? I'm assuming it's a simple rectilinear thing. I will sift through the plans, but I'm building a house right now so I'm sort of busy with other things mostly... It's close to 1 1/4 x 8, I think it was, but I measured quickly on my way out the door this morning and didn't write it down. Are all measurements in SAE?
Thanks! I'm sure I'll be back for lots of guidance.
