Greetings,

I'm not exactly a newbie when it comes to kit built aircraft but I'm finally
looking for my own plane to build. I helped some and flew lots in my uncles
RV-4 and ever since have been bitten by the bug.

I think I want a 4 seat (any suggestions, concerns on this?) but that seems
to drive the price up. Ideally it would be 4 place, STOL, with a cruise of
around 150+. (suggestions?)

This forum was recommended to me by other builders as a good place to meet
people who have been there before. So here I am.

Thanks for the info!

If you have already got some experience with Vans RV aircraft, I would highly
suggest you take a look of the new RV-10. I haven't seen one yet but would lay
good odds on it being a great four-seater. Other than that, the are several
great four-place aircraft available. The Bearhawk, BD-4 (Ugly), AeroComp-4,
and Stallion are all Highwing four-place that are worth taking a look at. The
Express, Pulsar (KIS) Super Cruiser, RV-10, and Lancair ES are traditional
low-wings. The Aero-Canard and Velocity XL and canard styled four-place.

I think you can tell from my signature line which I picked and am very happy
with my selection. Were I faced with the same selection today, I would give
the RV-10 a good hard look though.
