Steve. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv9-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv9-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Dale Larsen Subject: RV9-List: First flight --> RV9-List message posted by: "Dale Larsen" Yesterday, after waiting seven weeks for an inspection and another twelve days for the inspector to finish the paperwork, RV9A N61DX took to the air. Aside from high cylinder temps, everything went well. This is a nice airplane! Dale --- ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:40:54 AM PST US From: "Bill Repucci" Subject: RV9-List: Pitot tube hole --> RV9-List message posted by: "Bill Repucci" As I built the wings I diligently followed Van's directions and drilled the hole for the pitot tube when they called for it. Now, before I close up the wings I realized I would like to install the Dynon EFIS unit along with their pitot tube so I can also have an AOA indicator. The problem is that the bracket I bought to hold the pitot tube doesn't cover the hole I have already drilled for the Van's tube. What do you suggest I do? A) Leave the hole open? B) Drill out the two adjacent rivets and put a small plate behind the spar web flange to cover the hole and put move the Pitot tube down? C) Return the Dynon pitot tube, due w/o the AOA, and just use the Dynon EFIS with the Van's pitot? Thanks for the help.

Specifically the Egenfellner Subaru. So far Insurer's either will not write period, or the cost is prohibitive. Any comments will be welcome but keep in mind there are pro's and con's for both. Doing the Ben Franklin approach is an interesting study.
