What caused the 9 to be lost?

I am not sure about this one, Rob. Mine has never been upside down. I built it
right-side-up and so missed out on the big "roll the fuselage over" party.
However, yours doesn't sound right to me.
All I know is mine appears to have smooth lines finished and sitting on the gear,
and all the holes lined up.
If you had it right side up I suppose you could cleco the top skins on as a check.

Do others with their fuselages upside down and mostly assembled have a slight
dip (approx 3/16") at the 705 bulkhead if a straight edge is placed across it
down the longitudinal axis of the fuselage?
I hope this is clear ......... Mine appears to have everything fitting correctly
but this slight concavity in the bottom of the fuse at the 705 is quite obvious
and I'm wondering why it's there.
[The 705 is the rear spar attach / seat belt floor attach / roll bar bulkhead.]
Input welcomed.

Looks to me like the -9 tail is more work to build than the other models.......then
there are the flaps and ailerons yet to come!
But, hey, you'll have a better airplane when you are done.

I believe that the two very experienced pilots (with extensive RV
experience) just "pushed on" during a long and tiring flight, even though
weather was deteriating. They flew into IMC conditions over primitive
land - hilly, tree-covered, low population, etc., etc. They possibly would
have been okay - but they needed to land due to very low gas.
I felt bad about it. I believe that I was the first RV-9A builder planning
an O-235 N2C engine (kit #90030). As such I had a lot of questions. Bill
Benedict was very knowledgeable and very helpful. Had better information
about the RV-9A/O-235 at that time than the current Support group does now.

While you're on the topic of tail lights & strobes. The tail position light
is required to be visible on a 110 degree arc, when combined witht he strobe
it is usually in the middle with a metal collar with a "V" notch to control
the arc of visibility. make sure the arc is in a horizontal plane. I have
seen some installed with it in the verticle plane... even on certified
aircraft. (Take a walk around the ramp parking sometime and check out some
tail)

Jim,
Ernest pretty well summed it up, except I don't believe fuel was an issue. Bill
and his son Jeremy were both experienced RV pilots. Bill told me the day before
that he let Jeremy fly most of the long cross country legs. They pushed it
too far and got into IMC conditions over the hills of Arkansas. Witnesses on the
ground reported hearing the airplane circling prior to the crash leading one
to infer that they were possibly in a death spiral with no gyros. It was a very
firey crash indicating there was plenty of fuel on board.
For this reason, I believe all VFR only aircraft should have minimal gyros (Vacuum,
electric, solid state or whatever).

Rob
Your message implies that you have the tip-up canopy and I have the slider
which should make absolutely no difference. Mine is upside down and has the
same dip as yours. Please note that the center line flat bottom surface of
the baggage compartment transitions to match the wing bottom airfoil contour
just forward of the 705 bulkhead. The baggage ribs are 700 series and appear
to be common to the -7 and -9 aircraft while the seat ribs are 900 series
specific to the -9 only. I suspect that this dip appears only on the -9
because of the different airfoil used and should be of no concern either
structurally or aerodynamically. Hope this helps.

I have a question that hopefully someone can answer. I am currently
finishing up on the empennage kit and I have two things remaining.
1) I need to finish the trailing edges of the Rudder and elevators. I
see in the drawings to use pro-seal on the edges of the skin. Do they
just want this in the corners, or do they want us to put it the whole
length? Is the Rudder the same?
2) I just received my fiberglass tips for the empennage (they were
backordered). Is there a trick to making them fit properly? Looks like
they want to hang up on rivets that have already been installed in some
places.
Thanks in advance!!!

The idea is to proseal the entire length, cleco to a piece of angle angle
iron and let it setup. Then remove clecos and instal the rivets. The
proseal will hold everything in place as you rivet.
Yes, the rudder is the same.

If you look closely you will notice a line that runs around the permiter
edge. If you trim to this line you will be very close to having a good fit.

Ted,
When I built my empennage the plans/directions specified using pro-seal at the
corners only. I'm not sure if the directions have changed since. I know some people
do put pro-seal along the entire edge. It's useful on the coreners to prevent
getting a corner folded up when you inadvertantly snag it on a towel or
shirt sleeve. While pro-sealing the entire edge certainly doesn't hurt, I'm nut
sure that there is any real benefit.
You can check out how I did my trailing edges at http://www.toddhoug.com.
The fiberglass tips aren't difficult. The lines in the gelcoat are pretty close.
If you take a few measurements to confirm, you can likely cut to the lines and
then do some final trimming where needed.

--> RV9-List message posted by: "Ted Strand" <tstrand@strandcentral.com>
I have a question that hopefully someone can answer. I am currently
finishing up on the empennage kit and I have two things remaining.
1) I need to finish the trailing edges of the Rudder and elevators. I
see in the drawings to use pro-seal on the edges of the skin. Do they
just want this in the corners, or do they want us to put it the whole
length? Is the Rudder the same?
2) I just received my fiberglass tips for the empennage (they were
backordered). Is there a trick to making them fit properly? Looks like
they want to hang up on rivets that have already been installed in some
places.
Thanks in advance!!!

Robert,
Does the latest plans or assembly instructions call for this? I know my older instructions
circa 2000 do not specifiy this. They specify use only on the corners,
have there been updates? I thought that this approach was one that a creative
builder came up with and it has caught on with a few others. While it sounds
like people get good results with it, it certainly isn't necessary. I got
great results on the rudder, elevator, flaps and ailerons just clamping to a long
piece of angle iron and riveting. The less I have to deal with proseal the
better!
I guess it's really up to the builder, that's what makes these experimental right?

I used the structural epoxy (T88) the plans called for
rather than proseal on the rudder.
I used the elevator spar and cekoed the rudder to it
for a few days while it set. The spar is the same
hole pattern as the from trailing edge of the rudder
(left the plastic on to keep glue from setting on the
spar) sounds like you are too far along and will have
to drill.
I have not closed the elevators yet, still waiting on
a Tech Advisor (4 weeks, 3 advisors still no shows).
