    Subject: 9A VS parts list
    Paul, Section 4 of your construction manual is a complete parts index. Parts for VS begins with VS and is on "PLAN PG #6". Unfortunately, several VS parts are listed at end of the list with unknown PLAN PG #. Here are what I found: VS-410PP-PC x 2 VS-411PP-PC x 2 VS-412PP-PC x 2 VS-803PP x 1 VS-808PP x 1 VS-901 x 1 VS-909 x 1 VS-702 x 1 VS-704 x 1 VS-705 x 1 VS-706 x 1 VS-707 x 1 Double check the above list against DWG 6 and see whether anything is missing. There are various rivets used and they are not listed on the parts list. Ted ------------------------------------------ T.C.

(Biggest problem was I bucked rivets on the spar because I didn't have a squeezer that could do 1/8" rivets.) Anyway, I called Van's to order the parts and basically they have no concept of a "vertical stab" subkit - you need to have the full parts list. Does anybody happen to have this handy for a 9A?? do not archive

    Subject: Vne dependent on TAS?
    Listers, A recent article in Kitplane magazine describes the criticality of knowing TAS at relative high msl. For example, if one is flying at 8K to 10K, the indicated airspeed is significantly less than TAS. Therefore, an IAS of 90 could have TAS near Vne. I would be interested in offline comments from anyone experiencing "flutter" or some other situation at these altitudes and how you deal with the situations. Many thanks, Ken Arnold

    Jerry, Those are the standard Van's wingtips that came in my wing kit in 2002. I'm not sure when Van's changed them but I noticed that on some -7's recently.

    Subject: Re: Vne dependent on TAS?
    Ken, This is the very reason Van's doesn't support the use of engines higher than advertised and normally aspirated. A normaly aspirated Lycoming will usually reach full throttle height around 7500 feet AMSL/standard atmosphere. RV's can usually go a bit higher due to the RAM effect of the intake air if the cowling and baffling of intake has been carefully constructed, sometimnes as much as 1"MP can be gained. Save for a very light RV, little fuel, no lugagge, 1POB, I don't think it's an issue really. However should you have the urge to up the HP even a bit or use a TURBO where you can maintain your MP above the 7500 then you will quickly come very close to the VNE, in a similar way as you can quickly achieve VNE at low levels by high powersetting and just pushing the nose down. I recall it could be achieved within a 1000feet drop with only 1800RPM set during the testfase of my RV7.(180HP, FP, 1029LBS empty). ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Arnold To: RV-List@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2007 2:27 PM Subject: RV-List: Vne dependent on TAS?

    Ken: There's was a discussion of the relationship between TAS and flutter on the RV List a year or so ago. You should find lots about it in the archives. The RV List discussion was inspired by an article in the RVator called "Flying High and Fast" (6th issue of 2004), in which Ken Krueger talks about the risk of encountering flutter at high altitude, due to TAS being much higher than IAS.

    Is there anyone on the "list" that has rebuilt a gyro themselves? I have a ADI of B.F.Goodrich origin that I would like to rebuild. Corollary question, who would be a good source to have the gyro overall, less yellow tag as this is for an experimental? Marty RV-6A finishing.

    Subject: Re: Vne dependent on TAS?
    Listers, Many thanks for all the good comments re: TAS effect on Vne. The Ken Kruger article is very good and very clear. ie be very careful when calculating your closeness to Vne at higher altitudes. My engine is Rotax 912 ULS. I have determined the rule of thumb is multiply thousands by 1.5 which gives a percentage number to find IAS to compare with TAS. For example, at 8K msl, multiply 8 x 1.5 = 12% reduction. If Vne at sealevel was 110 mph then 110 x 0.88 = 96.8 mph IAS. This is important news. Other docs have sort of ignored the situation by discussing how much more efficient it is to fly a little higher. Further, I think a placard pasted to the panel at some sample altitudes would be handy. Again, many thanks, Ken Arnold ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robin Marks" <robin1@mrmoisture.com> Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2007 3:01 PM Subject: RE: RV-List: Vne dependent on TAS? > > Found it! > > http://www.vansaircraft.com/pdf/hp_limts.pdf > > as a discussion of the relationship between TAS and flutter on the RV > List a year or so ago.

    Subject: Re: Vne dependent on TAS?
    I'm confused. Well, maybe not. If the discussion is based on 'bigger engines', then I can see the basis for the discussion. However, VNE probably can't be attained in level flight ...... even with a lot of extra HP, so the VNE/TAS discussion should die right there. In the absence of a turbo, flying at altitude will make that attempt even farther from attainment. Also, the flutter design limit is higher than VNE (or should be :-P ) so that shouldn't be a problem. So, where's the fear??

    Subject: POH
    Guys: Has anyone put together a POH for the -9A? It would be great to have one online so as to make the minor changes to airspeed, rate of climb, and so on each homebuilt before printing. Thanks, Dan. Do Not Archive

    Check Vans Airforce web site. I know there are some POHs there but not sure about the 9A. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Ross To: rv-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2007 8:00 PM Subject: RV-List: POH Guys: Has anyone put together a POH for the -9A?
