In the back of your mind I bet you were pushing the imaginary button and hearing RAT-A-TAT-TAT-TAT.... Great footage! Mike, EAA Corp --- Hahaha, just as I wrote that I heard the sound effects/affects! LOL
Great footage,I always wanted to get a buddy to go up and dog fight with me,after watching your video though I'm not so sure.I can see how a day of fun can turn into two flaming wrecks crashing to the ground!Hats off to you guys for having the balls to do it.
Thanks for your comment. Simulated air to air combat is an art learned over many years and in terms of safety should not be taken lightly. Each pilot, whether engaged in aerobatics, formation, tailchase, dogfights, or just normal flying, needs to know his own limititations and remain within that boundary. In this video, both of us were trained in air to air combat by the military and we have a good feel for when it's time to call, "knock it off."
LOL you guys are dogfighting them! How maneuverable is the Rv4? Also they sell Rv4s in single seats right? thats what I want. I will buy two seat later
The RV-3 is the single seater and the most maneuverable, but the early models had a weak wing and a few people were killed after wing failure. Only buy one with the new wing, or a modified early wing is my advice. The RV-4 is the second most maneuverable in the RV series and is an all around great sport aerobatic bird.
ok so if I buy RV-3 I should just make sure it has the new wing on it. Are these planes only self-build or is it possible to buy a new one and have it constructed for you
Great video, Sir. Thank you very much for sharing. Do you mind also sharing the name of the tune in the video? I loved that song.

Wow! Thanks for sharing Pennyskin.
Your video gave me goosebumps.
I am a frustrated fighter pilot myself (my corrected vision kept me out of being eligible for military service).
As the old adage goes -
"Once a fighter pilot always a fighter pilot".
Your video clearly illustrated that point.
Keep flyin'!
