RV-4 (1:8 Scale) Laser-cut Kit

The balsabuilder magazine 1:8 Scale RV-4 is a 35 in. span 4-channel electric sport scale aerobatic laser-cut model airplane kit.  This is a complete redesign of the Stevens AeroModel classic kit offering, refreshed especially for model enthusiasts who favor building from plans.  We think the updated RV-4 is a great improvement over the original, while more traditional in build the structure remains ridiculously easy to frame, is easier to handle, sturdier, and more refined.

Stevens AeroModel has teamed up with balsabuilder magazine to offer complete assembly kits of the RV-4.  This comprehensive RV-4 kit offering includes a full complement of laser-cut ribs, formers, and shape parts along with: balsa wood strip stock, plans, construction article, pre-formed landing gear, canopy, cowl, wheel pant kit, and thorough hardware package. Save time and money, order our RV-4 in a full kit!
