A favorite for recreation and cross-country travel, the full-size RV-4 is the most popular homebuilt in
the world. This IMAA-legal, 1/4 scale model likewise earns high marks for versatility -- offering a
realistic flight envelope whether you install a glow engine or electric brushless motor system.

In addition to being an excellent first large-scale
model, the RV-4 ARF is a fine choice for learning
to add flaps to your control options. They aren't
required for flight but can be used to slow the
model for easier landings.
The RV-4 ARF's cockpit includes a rollover bar
and an instrument panel whose gauges appear
realistically recessed -- an effect gained by
placing the instrument panel decal behind the
laser-cut dashboard.
Flown with the recommended glow engines or
electric brushless motor systems, this ARF
recreates the flight characteristics of the full-size
homebuilt. An O.S.® FS-91 Surpass II glow engine
offers excellent fuel economy and scale-like sound.
The ElectriFlyTM RimFireTM 50-65-450 brushless
motor delivers performance comparable to a .91
glow engine.
Despite its 1/4 scale dimensions, the RV-4 ARF
is also designed for convenient transport. Its
wing halves detach easily for fitting the model
into your vehicle. At the field, the halves plug
quickly and securely onto aluminum joiner tubes.
The removable radio compartment hatch allows
for easy access when installing the wing bolts.
