Justyn Gorman Aerobatics donate an RV4 Flight


Justyn Gorman has confirmed his participation with a flight in his RV4. The RV-4 was designed in the United States by Richard Van Grunsven, and first flew in August 1979. Van’s has been supplying kits for the RV-4 for almost twenty years, and it has become one of the most popular kit aircraft in the world. Somewhere between 900 and 1000 examples have been flown in countries all over the globe. There are around 20 or so in the UK at the present time.
The RV-4 is a two seat tandem configuration. The seating is compact, but comfortable. The RV-4 is designed to be flown from the front seat only, but there is a stick and rudder pedals for the rear seat passenger to take basic control of the aircraft. Justyn uses a self contained smoke system, which can be fitted quickly in place of the rear passenger seat for shows. Justyn’s RV-4 is fitted with a 5.4 litre, 4 cylinder, 160 hp Lycoming engine and a constant speed propeller for enhanced performance.

Thank you to Justyn for adding another new type for the challenge. For further information on Justyn and his displays click here.
