G-IKON, a VANS RV-4

I am building a VANS RV-4 aircraft. If your not involved in homebuilt aircraft it wont be too interesting, but if you are a part of that elite group it just might be. My intention is to include ONLY the interesting details, so the rate of change will be quite slow!

The floors are progressing, and the footwells were completed today. Another picture of the footwells under 'Fuselage'.

Progress - June '06.

Finally, I have the photo technology organised to support this blog. Here is my -4, G-IKON. I am a good way along, with a good way to go!

The roll bar in fact is just perched on top. No holes drilled in it yet. I am currently working on the support structure for it. If you want to see more details of that, please go to the 'fuselage' page.

Here is another picture. As you see I am not the tidiest of people, but I almost know where everything is!
