Can I fly like Trent does in his model 5 but instead in a model 4?
I have this idea that all the models after 4 (5,6,7) are all "Real planes" more inline with the super cub. The 4 seems to be more like a go-cart.

Let's see - same wing, same engine, same prop, 100 lbs lighter, or more - I always thought of a IV as more like a dirt bike, vs. a Gold Wing
The 4s are pretty light. just tight which I think makes it better for short stuff

Trent wishes he could be like me in my IV...
if you followed me around you would be saying you would want to be like me. oh oh did I say that. I'm absolutely crazy with my 4 and I've been told I fly it like a helicopter. ooppps did I say that.

Got any videos? I'm just trying to understand if 4's are legit back country planes or if I need to get into the 5's before I can do that stuff.
On paper the 4's seem to have better "Numbers" for short field stuff than the 5's up.
Also being a little heavier is nice in the wind.
I live in a HIGH wind area.
Model 4's are legit back country planes. Depends on pilot more than the plane down in this performance regime I would say.
