Dave,

That BD-4 is very interesting. The specs look like a good match for my
requirements. This one is on the list of possibles for sure.

thanks!

You might consider the oft-forgotten BD-4, recently resurrected and made
available in kit form. "4 seats" is arguable, 2+2 is more like it, but I
think that's true with most "4-seaters". It's an issue of room rather
than
load. Not exactly STOL, but the extended-wing taildragger form has pretty
good short and soft capabilities. Cruise of 150+ is no problem.

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!
