This 1986 Vans RV-4 (N1323) presents as a well-maintained example of the classic tandem two-seat experimental aircraft, featuring a 150-hp Lycoming O-320-E2D engine with 1,964 hours SMOH and 841 hours STOH. The engine shows solid compression readings between 70-79 across all cylinders and is paired with an Aymar-Demuth wooden two-blade propeller. The airframe benefits from recent upgrades including electric flaps, an electric fuel pump, slick magnetos, and a distribution gear upgrade completed in July 2024 alongside its annual inspection by Plane Design at KLHZ.

The aircraft's avionics suite includes a Bendix/King KY97A comm, Terra TN-200D nav receiver with TRI-NAV C indicator, Narco AT50A transponder, and PS Engineering PM1000 intercom, though it lacks ADS-B capability. The exterior sports a distinctive burnt orange and white scheme with blue accents in very good condition, while the gray tandem interior is similarly described as very good. With 1,161 total airframe hours, this RV-4 offers the responsive handling and cross-country capabilities the model is known for, presenting an opportunity for a new owner to enjoy its economical yet spirited performance.
