Has anyone ever actually installed these lines in one piece a shown in the
plans? If so, I would like to know how you did it. Van's support wasn't
helpful.

It can be done but many of us put the fuel line higher than the brake line.
That way the fuel line makes a much shallower s-curve and it's not very
difficult to do (compared to some other things later on).

"EAA Offers Centennial Package for Completed Aircraft Projects
"Any EAA member who completes a homebuilt aircraft between December 17, 2002
and December 31, 2003, will receive a centennial dataplate and certificate
of accomplishment from EAA as part of the commemoration of powered flight's
100th anniversary. Both of these items signify the homebuilder's link to the
legacy of the powered flight's original homebuilders--the Wright brothers.
EAA will also display a picture of the proud homebuilder with his or her
completed aircraft on a special section of the EAA website."
If any of you RV-9 builders are contemplating completing your project in
2003 here is an additional inducement to get it in the air. I wonder which
RV-9 builder will be the first?

Yes I put them all in just like the plans show! Was it easy... Not really!
The hardest part was the tubes that traversed the gear towers. I fought and struggeled
with these. I bent the z bend at the outside end, left the inside straight
and sort of pushed and hand bent the tube as I threaded it into the holes.
It took some time and coaxing but worked out in the end. When I talked with
some of the Vans guys at Oshkosh this year they said, all you have to do is unbolt
the gear towers and then put the tubes in, bend them to shape and then bolt
the towers back in place...
Hum, why didn't I think of that. In my case I was already finished.
