Gentleman -
Considering the purchase of an RV-4 and looking for some insight. In my quest for RV-4 wisdom I discovered that if the airplane has the 180hp and a C/S prop it should also have the tall gear option and the firewall weldment mod. At least that’s what I read in an older Kit Plane article. The airplane I’m considering has the 180hp and the C/S prop but the seller is unsure if it also has the tall gear and weldments. Is there a tell tell sign just by looking at the airplane if it has the tall gear? Also with the cowl off what or where are the firewall weldments?
V/R,
Joe
