 Any RV4 builders or owners out there.

 Bonjour evrybody.

 How hard is it to put another set of flight controls in the aft
 cockpit for insurance check out reasons.

 Paul Lamar


 Paul--the RV-4 has a stick in the back in the standard configuration and a
 rear rudder pedal kit is available.  Not difficult to do an interconnect
 with throttle.  Most RV-4 setups have left side side throttle quadrant and
 so it is possible to install a rear throttle quadrant and interconnect the
 front throttle arm to the one in the rear.  Larry Beck, noted Staggerwing
 builder/award-winner lives down the street is a flight instructor and as I
 remember the RV-4 he built is configured to be flown from the back seat
 for
 dual instruction.

 Thanks Steve.

 What do you think of the idea of Robin learning to fly in an RV4.

 Paul Lamar

Fabulous idea Paul.

I think she should solo in a Champ, Taylorcraft, or Cub, or at least a
Citabria first.  Then move on to the RV.

As you might guess, I think everyone should start in a light wing
loading tailwheel airplane that has a fair amount of adverse yaw.  A
few hours in a Schweizer or Blanik would be good too.  The hands and
feet will forever be awake enough to stay out of trouble.  Anyone can
do it..  Everyone benefits from it.
