A little help will be appreciated. Have just reached the point in the manual of
removing the forward side skins for dimpling and priming. In considering the
process, there seems to be no quidance on the order of re-assembly and assembly
of the side skins, bottoms skins, etc.
the manual suggests during the final prep of the tail cone "not" to dimple the
forward two rows of holes on the rear bottom skin. How do you get to them to
dimple now?
where did I go wrong

Hi, Andy. Interesting you mention that slips work well in the 9. This is the
only point I have differed with you on. I felt like the 9 didn't slip as well
as what I've been used to......mostly the Cygnet, RV4, and my "almost an
Ultralight" N3 Pup. Maybe it is just what a person is used to. I felt the 9
took LOTS of rudder pressure to slip, and that it wasn't all that effective in
giving a good sink rate.
We had fun a while back, formation flying with a Citabria. The guys in the
Citabria had the window open taking pictures, so we were going about 80. I had
to throttle back to about 1300 rpm to stay with them. Had to trim things
carefully to keep from climbing!
It is surprizing, but like you say, even throttled way back, if you are above
70 mph, the sink rate is miniscule.
Do not archive.

John....without lookin it up, and taking my poor memory into consideration, is
this where the front belly skin overlaps the rear belly skin? Is it possible
that the reason they tell you not to dimple the rear skin is that they intend
to have you machine countersink the front skin on top of it?

Hello,
I am planning to put in return fuel lines in case my engine supports
fuel injection. I have seen that some people have place the return line
in the tank access plate, but I would prefer to have it mounted directly
to the rib. I was wondering if any of you have done this, and if you
can give me a good spot for locating it? One of my tanks is already
sealed, so I will need to work through the access plate for it, but the
second tank is open. I figure the open tank will allow me to get my
procedure (and measurements) correct.
Thanks in advance
