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

This 1987 Vans RV-4, registration N511TG, is a high-performance experimental aircraft with a total airframe time of 1,300 hours. It is powered by a Lycoming IO-390-A1A engine producing 240 horsepower, which received a major overhaul 10 hours ago in 2024. The Hartzell constant-speed propeller also has 10 hours since its own overhaul in 2022, which included an added twist for increased horsepower; the propeller was involved in a strike in 2018 due to a hard landing. The aircraft's most recent condition inspection was completed in February 2025, though it was out of annual from 2019 to 2024.
