I copied them from ones on the Western Canada Wing web site. You will need to edit it for your configuration. Since I am not using a lycoming, you may need to cut and paste from the RV-6 poh out there for some of the engine stuff. . There is also flight test plans and other stuff out there if you want it. Regards Larry Perryman N194DL 90288 ----- Original Message ----- From: "steve dwyer" Subject: RV9-List: RV-9A pilot operating handbook | --> RV9-List message posted by: "steve dwyer" | | 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??? | | Steve Dwyer 90219 | | | | | | | | ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:45:45 AM PST US From: Richard Tasker Subject: RV9-List: Tank dimple Question --> RV9-List message posted by: Richard Tasker I am starting on the tanks for my RV9A and would like your opinions of tank dimple dies vs normal dimple dies. I understand that the tank dimple dies make a deeper dimple to compensate for the pro-seal under the rivet. If one uses the regular dimple dies, does that leave the rivets sticking up an objectional amoount? If that is the case, what does one do about that?

I have done anything with them yet. I'm told there is a rivet shaving tool but scary to use. I may just take a sander to them.

Sanding would scare me more than using the rivet shaver. Once you get it set, you just go from one rivet to another.

After you dimple and as you're getting ready to rivet, use the countersink to take out a little more material. I found most rivets would seat flush after that. On the wing or fuse where there were lots of rivets to do, I put the countersink tool in my drill and used it a low speed to cover lots of ground.
