Hi Listers,
The List of Contributors (LOC) is just around the corner! On December 1st
I post a list of everyone that so generously made a Contribution to support
the Lists. Its sort of my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a
minute to show their appreciation for the Lists.
Won't you take a moment and assure that your name is on that List of
Contributors? As a number of people have pointed out, the List seems at
least, if not a whole lot more, as valuable as a building/flying/recreating
tool as a typical your magazine subscription. We won't even talk about a
newsstand price... :-)
Won't you take minute and assure that your name is on the upcoming
LOC? Tell others that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to
support the Lists is fast and easy using your Visa or M/C on the SSL Secure
Web Site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
or by popping a personal check in the mail to:

I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution
thus far in this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support
that keeps these Lists going and improving! Don't forget to include a
little comment about how the Lists have helped you! I love to feel the
love... :-)
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

Ron,
I have to agree with Dan's answer. I have flown both the 9A and 7A. The
biggest difference in they way that they handle in cruise is the stick
force. The 9 is solid where the 7 requires light force to put in in a turn.
I tested my auto pilot this weekend and it will make a long cross country
easy. In the patern both airplanes handle about the same. The 9 will float
a little more but nothing like the 172. I was apprehensive about doing my
first flight and even considered letting someone else do the honors until I
did transition training. After that I felt confident that I could handle
the airplane. Go with the the 7 if you think you might want to do a roll
every now and then, (once your flying it you will) and try to stay current
while you build.

I went with the 7A for the "Walter Mitty" factor - I just thought it would
be cool to be able to do aerobatics occasionally, even though I don't really
know if I'll like it. After all, one reason I sold my 172 is I was getting
a little bored with straight-and-level. I also reasoned that the airplane
would have a little better performance and be a little stronger structurally
thant the -9. Don't let anyone talk you out of the nosewheel - it's nice to
be able to land in a crosswind.

Of course you can land in a crosswind with a tail dragger. That's what the
rudder pedals are for.
