1987 Vans RV-4Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Fullerton , CA USA

This 1987 Vans RV-4, registration N511TG, is a high-performance experimental aircraft featuring a freshly overhauled 240 horsepower Lycoming IO-390-A1A engine with only 10 hours since major overhaul. The engine is equipped with performance-enhancing modifications including GAMI injectors, a James ram air filter, dual oil coolers, and an EFI electronic ignition system. The airframe has 1,300 total time and is paired with a Hartzell constant speed propeller that received a 10-hour propeller overhaul in 2022 with added twist to accommodate the increased horsepower, following a prop strike in 2018 due to a hard landing.
