For what it's worth, I had to pull and replace my flap motor after 70
hours due to a broken winding. They're pricey too."
I'm building a 9. Vans don't offer a manual option for flaps as far as I know.
Has anyone found a way to go manual?
I'm beginning to think this might be a better choice.

Subject: Wheels and tubes
Excuse my ignorance. I had a few spare minutes and thought I would assemble
a wheel and tire today. On the tube there is in addition to the dust cap a
brass nut, a chrome washer and a chrome nut. The valve stem is threaded in
two places. Right down by the tube and for quite a length where the dust cap
screws on. I am perplexed as to the role of the two chrome parts. Presumably
the brass nut is to stabilise the stem in the hole through the split in the
wheel?
Where the stem comes out of the wheel I had thought the chrome washer might
screw down against the rubber plug but the thread does not cover that
portion of the stem. Can anyone shed some light for me.
Thanks, Steve.

I researched price and availability of low voltage linear actuators (which is
what the flap motor is) and found that Van's is the best product for the
money, but we all know what happens sometimes when we buy the cheapest part or
take the lowest bidder.

I wanted manual flaps from the beginning for my -9A. I asked a couple of
people at Van's about it, and they said, "Its your airplane, you can do what
you want." However, they told me that they doubted I would be able to
operated them. The manual flaps on the -6's are very hard to operate, due
to the awquard location, and the fact your elbow hits the seatbacks. And
the larger flaps on the -9's require more force to deploy. So I gave in and
stayed with the electric flaps.
I am sure a satisfactory soulution for manual flaps could be devised for
the -9, but Vans hasn't figured one out.

I am trying to decide what type of com antenna to use.
For VOR I will use Bob Archer's in-the-wingtip antenna. I like the idea
of having an internal antenna - no drag, no chance of damage, etc. He
also sells one that is modified for use as a com antenna, but since it
is in the wingtip it cannot be very much vertical as a com antenna
should be.
Has anyone used one of these or know someone that has? If so how well
does it work? If anyone has used this type and compared its performance
to a normal vertical antenna what were the results? Was it just
adequate or was it effectively comparable? What typical distance do you
get with either type?
Thanks,

I am intending to fly my 9 with an O 290 initially. This is a low time engine
which I got a very good deal. In the long run I intend to assemble a firewall
forward Mazda 13b installation. Since the prop will then turn in the opposite
direction I am unsure whether to mount the tail with the normal inbuilt offset
and then rework this late. This is possible??? Or mount it straight down
the axis of the plane and use tabs to adjust.
I know that Bernie Kerr is building a 9 with a 13b. Are you out there Bernie.
I looked for your progress on Tracy's site and found nothing.
This isn't intended to be a debate on the merits of different engines just a howto
on the v stab alignment. ;-)
Thanks guys
Rob

Hi Rob;
I wondered about this as well. Since the previous models didn't use any
off-set in the VS, I decided to mount it neutral as well. Since I had
decided right from the start that I was using a rotary, I knew that I would
likely use a left hand prop so would need to reverse the VS offset, but at
the time I didn't know which reduction unit I would use. I ended up with
Real World Solutions RD-1A which is left hand drive. I designed and built my
own engine mount, which I decided to also build with no offset. Instead I
used shims between the mount and firewall to offset prop flange. This will
be relatively easy to add or remove shims after flight testing. I also plan
to add rudder trim using differential springs much like the aileron trim. I
fully expect satisfaction from my engine/psru combination, but if not I can
switch to a right hand prop without reworking the tail.
Reversing the off-set on the VS is very simple, however the empennage
fairing must also be redone. I don't mind working with glass so I really
didn't mind, but thought I'd remind you.
