I have 8ft sliding glass doors in my down stairs where I plan on building
my 9A. Would some one measure the wheel base and hor stab width
please. Tanks ahead.

Out-to-Out for the Wheels is 7'-6" (No Fairings)
Out-to-Out for the HS is 11'-6" (Fiberglass Tips, add 11")
If I were you, I would plan on removing the Empennage before moving the
Fuselage. (The top of the VS is about 8' off the floor!) About a dozen
bolts hold the HS & VS in place and they're pretty easy to get at. I've had
mine on and off several times.

Joe,
The wheel base is around 6 feet. The HS is 11 feet. Just leave it off
until you get to the airport.
The fuselage with canopy is about 6.5 feet tall.

I just moved my plane to the airport and the main gear is 7' center to center on
the tires. Fit nicely on my 8' trailer with just a couple of inches to spare!

Hi Joe,
I can't tell you about wheel base and my horizontal stab is at the hanger but
I remember it being about 10 feet long.

Dave.......I think you'll find the HS is about 9'-6" O/O (without tips).
Elevators (c'weight arms) add about 2" each end.
(I'm trying to figure my chances of test-fitting everything in a 9'-11 1/2"
wide garage...YIKES!!)

You're right, 9'-6" it is. (Next time I'll turn on the light in the
storeroom before reading the tape scale.)

--> RV9-List message posted by: "steve dwyer" <stdwyer@dreamscape.com>
Does anyone have a POH specifically prepared for the rv9a? I contacted Vans and
Gus e-mailed me his written for his rv6a when he was still in Europe. I've got
to believe one of those guys out there with their 9 in the air has completed
this. Gus' is well done and follows Europe's version of the FAA requirements
identical to a POH found in a certified aircraft. I'd like to have this on board
and I dont want to take the time writing my own except for the weight and
balance and engine specifics, I guess I'm getting a little lazy after 2 years
of pounding rivets. Help anyone???

I am about 3 weeks from a first flight on my 9A and would be interested in knowing
what indicated air speeds seem to work best on final and at landing flair
at 1375 lbs. and 20 degrees of flaps. Any comments on what may have suprised
you on your first flight would be appreciated.

Steve,
I started to convert one for a 6A to a 9A, but I haven't finished it
yet.

Dick,
I have an 9A that I have been flying since July. My airspeed
indicator is in mph so if yours is in knots you will have to divide my
numbers by 1.15.
My stall speed when solo is from 42 to 44 mph depending on fuel load.
Using the traditional 1.3 times Vs would yield an approach speed of about 56
mph. I found that I needed a little more speed for elevator authority in the
flare. I use 65mph on final and it seems to be a very comfortable speed.
I didn't have any surprises on the test flights. It flew just as I
expected it to, only better. I did some "crow hops" before the first flight.
I got it about 2 ft off the ground and found I need a tad of aileron trim.
After that it was balanced and as stable as could be. I did about a half a
dozen crow hops and then I took off. I didn't use the flaps on the first
couple of flights. I added some speed of course on final.
Good Luck!
Paul Baird
