Ever since my training days in the Piper Warriors I have thought that the fuselage steps up to the wing walk are about the ugliest things on an airplane. With a tri-gear, I know that some step is almost a neccessity. The question is has anyone found an alternative to the standard step? In the three years I've followed the RV list, I don't remember the subject coming up and I will expand my search, but thought maybe someone has a direction? Thanks All, Terry Hobert 9A Fuselage download! http://toolbar.msn.com/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/ ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:14:15 AM PST US From: "Steve Sampson" Subject: RE: RV9-List: Fuselage Steps --> RV9-List message posted by: "Steve Sampson" Terry - I raised this issue about 2 years ago because I had the same concerns. If you are a Harlem globetrotter you might manage without, but you wouldnt fit in. Now its up on its wheels the fact that they are an option is clearly absurd. Order 2 steps!

If I find the link, I'll post it.

The -9A is a TALL airplane, I was stunned at how tall they are the first time I stood next to one. I can't wait to see a TD version up close and personal. Bill R.
