I am very close to finishing my RV-9A and would like to feel the
controls from the right seat. Van told me that if I came to Oregon, I
could get a ride but that is too far. Is there anyone within 200 miles
or so from Lexington, KY who would give me a ride?

Call or e-mail Jan Streblew jstreblow@eaa.org and ask for if there are any
Transition Training Waivered airplanes in your area. There are about 21
Van's planes registered for this FAA program administer by the EAA but only
1 RV-9A in Michigan as of the end of March.

Well, James, you're a long way from Yuma but I'd offer a ride as soon as I
fly off the last of the 25 hours-now at 17. I'll tell you what I've learned
so far though. I chose seat cushions that put my eye level well above the
cowl and glare shield. With my headphones on I have about 2 fingers between
the headband and the canopy. The 9A sits on the ground in flying attitude so
I had some friends hold the tail down so the nose wheel was up and figured
that was landing attitude. I did not use full power on takeoff but have
since found the rudder does a good job of yaw control on the ground so
steering is not as big a problem as I anticipated. Full power climbs are
very nose high and so far it looks like best rate is fairly flat between 80
and 100 mph so I am using 100. Stalls are very docile with some buffeting
before the break. Pitch the nose down a bit and you're flying again. I use
full flaps landing and set the idle at 600 so it will slow down when you
pull
power. A lancair guy suggested that I hold the stick about in the middle to
minimize overcontrolling on landing. Rollout is fine but I hold the nose
wheel off as long as possible and taxi requires only require minimal braking
as the rudder retains control at fairly low airspeed.
If you're current I'll bet flying the 9 will be a piece of cake. That said,
I still try to treat the nose gear as gently as possible.

Try some 3M or other brand of Urethane windshield sealer. Stays flexible
forever and adhesion is superb. The only drawback is that it's a real bear
to get off if you need to remove it. Greg T"
I own an autoglass company and would strongly suggest that if you wish to try this
approach you enquire of your source about an appropriate primer. Urethane
is highly variable in its ability to stick to different plastics.
The primers are expensive but you may be able to scrounge a sample or a little
in a opened bottle. PVC primer is readily available and will probably provide
your only plastics option. These primers are highly volatile so use it soon
after opening the bottle and don't leave the cap off for more than a few seconds.
I wouldn't be picky about the brand and expect to pay $12 - #20 for an 11oz
cartridge. This will not keep for more than maybe a week and if you wish makes
a fine adhesive (with the metal primer of course) for the traing edges of
your control surfaces. Get a couple of extra nozzles if you can and seeif they
are willing to throw in a 'bone'. These teflon sticks are great for all sorts
of chores around paint and glass and if used to trowel the urethane can be
left to dry and the surplus just peels off.
Get it right and you'll have a 500+psi adhesive!
Good luck and if you want any more info email me direct and I'll give the phone
number.
