Listers
I haven't been on the list for some time, I did build fly RV6A and
then sold it due to the following.. Last march I was diagnost with small
cell lung cancer and was given 2 months. Looks like they were wrong.
I have just ordered RV9A kit and will be looking for an engine
would like to here from other people what they have used and any other
suggestions you might have, like did you install electric flaps. Also has
anyone heard any pro's or con's about Don George Acft in orlando FL.
Thanks ahead
RV9A
Joe

I have spent this last week at the airport doing the final assembly on my
RV-9A. If I were building another one these are some things I might do
differently. Everything I did at the airport was more difficult than back
at the ranch. No matter how many tools I took with me I always needed
something else.
A. Fitting the ailerons: before I put the bottom outboard skin on the wing I
think I'd put the bellcrank and push/pull tube in, check for deflection and
install the aileron stop. I had to do some filing in the rear spar where the
aileron push rod comes through because of the lateral movement of the
pushrod as the bellcrank rotates.
B. Wingtips: with the aileron lined up I for sure would fit the wingtips in
the shop.
C. Wiring: I thought I had plenty of holes for wires to go back and forth
through the spar and from side to side under the seats but it got very tight
by the time I was done. The holes in the lower front area of the seat ribs
just aft of the spar are of little use since the brackets holding the
control stick assy interfere with the two inboard ones. I'd consider putting
those wiring holes further aft. You need to make a hole in the fuse side
skin forward of the spar for the fuel sender. Also life would be easier if I
had made the hole in the fuse line up with the wiring conduit in the wing.

| Subject: | W-932DG drill guides - CAUTION!! |
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Richard E. Tasker" <retasker@optonline.net>
CAUTION! I drilled the tank mounting brackets today and started using
the W-932DG drill guides supplied by Van's in the kit. Fortunately,
before I got very far I discovered that three out of four of the
supplied drill guiides were drilled incorrectly. The hole was not
centered properly across the narrow part of the guide. In addition, the
drawing dimensions seem to have an error in the length vs hole
placement. The manual says that the hole must be centered in the
bracket, but the dimensions show the hole slightly displaced from the
center. If it is actually supposed to be offset, then there should be
somewhere that sho\ws the proper placement on the bracket.
I ended up using the one drill guide that had the hole centered
laterally and longitudinally and the brackets came out fine.
Check the parts BEFORE you use them to drill your mounting brackets!
