Steve, these drain valves come up every few months it seems. Mine were
the same way, I used the NPT tap to bring them in a little deeper. I
think the key is to just turn the tap a little and keep checking the
progress with the drain valve to ensure you don't go to deep. I did look
at Vans demonstrators at Oshkosh this last summer and the drain valves on
both the RV-9 and RV-7 were installed as is, hanging out in the breeze. I
just could not see leaving them that way. If you don't have the tap
Sears sells it as an individual item, about $5.00. good luck,

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that the further the drains protrude into
the tank, the more residue it will leave in there when you drain.
I agree that three threads is not enough, though.

Should I prime and paint the rear canopy slider bar or will it bind the slider
block or get rubbed off anyway?...just a small point, but you keep answering my
more fundamental questions just before I get there!

I understand that the RV9 is considered a non-aerobatic aircraft. Does this mean
that even a simple roll would be dangerous or ill-advised?

I guess that depends who you talk to. A C-150 isn't supposed to do alot
of
the things that I know it does just fine.
