I guess that  I've officially become an RV9 builder.  On Saturday July 28, ( at  Oshkosh) I ordered my RV9 Tail kit.  Why is this list so much less active  than the RV10 list?  Any way, I'll be here monitoring and asking questions  as the build develops!

Welcome to the group, Jack and Cecilia.  I’ve often wondered why the RV9 group is less active than the 10 list as well.  I can think of two possible reasons.  First, because of a handful of RV10 builders who drive that list.  People like Tim Olsen, Deems Davis and others who contribute regularly.  Second, the RV10 is a newer model and being a larger, four-place plane there is much to learn about building it.  The RV9 is much like an RV7, but with different wings.  Many of the building issues have been covered over and over again.  

   

I find that I can get answers to most of my questions by searching the forums for the RV6, RV7 and RV9.  The RV10 is a different animal.    

   

Anyway, welcome to the group.  I have completed the tail kit and wings and I’m about half way through the fuselage.  I started last Labor day weekend and we (my Dad and brother are working with me) most everyday through the middle of May.  Then I opened a new business and progress on the plane has slowed to a crawl.  Just starting to find time to work on it again.

Hi Jack!



Welcome to the list.  I've been lurking here for a short while now and this is actually my first message to the list.  I also just became a new RV-9 builder as I ordered my tail kit on Monday.  I'll be building the 9A with my father John and we're already eagerly anticipating the arrival of the kit.

Welcome Jack and Cecilia!



Excellent choice in aircraft! I know you will enjoy building it. There's a

Greetings to Jack and to Mike.



Congratulations on starting the -9. It's a great airplane as I was reminded as I flew as a flight of two -9As to Oshkosh last week with Matthew Brandes. It goes fast and it can also go slow when necessary. Flying into OSH you need to be able to do both. We packed all our camping stuff into the baggage area and had exactly zero problems flying across the country in a homebuilt aircraft. You are going to love it.

As a builder of both a -9 and a -10 (in progress), I think the reason for less traffic is that the -9 is a lot like a -7, and therefore many of the discussions about canopy cutting and such gets merged with the other lists. There's also a lot of resources like Dan's site that help us with our -9s that simply don't yet exist for the -10.



Anyways, enjoy the experience. It really is worth all the work.



Regards,

Mike Schipper

        Just subscribe to both the "RV list" and the "RV9"  list.  It

seems to be a more active list than just the "9" list.

Welcome aboard and happy building.  When you say RV9

do you mean your building a tail dragger?

Probably not but since that decision doesn't have to be made yet, the

option(s) are still open.  The powerplant, prop, and avionics are still

unanswered questions too.

Jack,

  

 Welcome to the RV World!  I hope you enjoy building as much as I  have.

  

 One of  the reasons why this list is less active than the RV-10 list is that many  builders have moved to the www.vansairforce.net  forum.

Welcome Jack,

  

 I am building a RV-9A.  I started in May of this year.  I live about 3-4 hours south of you in SW Oklahoma.  Maybe we can visit each other some time.  In the shop I build in, the A&P IA is also building a 9A.  Also in progress in the same shop are a RV-4 and RV-7A.  So you might say we are RV Crazy down here.  

  

 Might try Vans Airfirce web site and maybe Yahoo groups also.  I monitor the RV10 list mostly as it seems to be hopping these days.  Don't forget the aeroelectric list also.  Bob is beyond belief in the info he has shared with us.  

 

Any way happy building.

Welcome Jack and Mike.



I am just completing my tail kit and expect to take delivery of the wing kit sometime this week.  The archives here are extraordinary but, as you say, there is not a lot of daily traffic in the R9 list.  There is a bit more activity at the vans airforce site and, as others have said, the general RV boards both here at at VAF are active and many of your more general questions can be asked there.



Have fun building and be sure to post often.



Jeff R
