Pictures of a brand new built RV-4

My first post at this forum. Hope you like the pictures…

Theese pictures were taken at a small strip close to the city of Hamar, Norway (ICAO-code ENHA). ENHA has glider-, parajumper- and GA-traffic, and on saturday 2th of july I took a trip to fly a L-23 Super blanik glider for the first time in a 6 months to get “current”… Here are som pics of that day;

First a picture of one of the many TCU-clouds that day.

Great pics, leading edge slats, very rare on SE GA aircraft?

The Rallye, or “tin parachute” as it was known was famous for it.
