If so, I would like to know how you did it. Van's support wasn't helpful.

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).

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?

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. - Andy Karmy RV9A - Seattle WA I'm a baffeling right now... I see light...
