Narrowing down my list of potential aircraft for acquisition and am about to begin looking at a few completed RVs in person.  Would appreciate hearing from any here on the RV-specific items I should definitely pay attention to when separating the wheat from the chaff.  Any common gotchas?  Typical indicators of quality?

   

  Thanks,

I would look closely at the canopy, the back of a slider should align closely with the rear fuselage top, and not be humped. The cowling alignment and workmanship tells a lot. My 2 cents. I expect to hear a lot of valuable points from the group. Do not archive.

General fit-n-finish and attention to detail are good first  indicators, as with anything.  Taking someone with you who has built one  might be worthwhile.
