G-IKON, a VANS RV-4

....well not quite though I am nearly there.

It needs to be weighed and the upper gear fairings installed.

We did a snagging list the other day and it was trivial except for one item. I may yet have to take the engine out to change the fitting where the oil pressure comes out of the engine. It appears it was damaged and does not make a good seal.

Hopefully, it will be weighed by this time tomorrow.


It was scary specifying the colour scheme though I am extremely pleased the way it has worked out. It certainly gathers and shows dust though.

John Stahr did the painting and had massive input into the design detail. He is Oregon based and I highly recommend his work.
