Without paint except for the internal surfaces which received a coat of PPG Epoxy primer, but with a full interior from Flight Line Interiors and a basic IFR panel, empty weight came in at 1070. It is powered by a new Aerosport O-320 with a new Sensenich prop pitched as recommended by Vans. After a little over 4 hours on its first couple of flights yesterday I am extremely pleased (grinning) and happy to say that it flies true and will not need any trim tabs or adjustments. Only a couple of squawks; I need to tighten the swivel in the nose wheel slightly and adjust the engine idle speed since it is a little low. No firm performance numbers at this point but I will post them as I get things calibrated (though it is far better than the C-150 I have been sharing!). ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:19:10 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV9-List: N369TM is flying in central Missouri From: "Larry PERRYMAN" 09/21/2004 03:19:06 PM, Serialize complete at 09/21/2004 03:19:06 PM --> RV9-List message posted by: "Larry PERRYMAN" Todd, Congratulations on joining the club.

I need to buy or make a black hole cover. It is a standard cutout - 2.75 by 6.25. I have looked in all my catalogues and can find nothing. Does anyone know a source for hole covers for this standard width hole? I really don't want to fabricate this out of a sheet of aluminum. Thanks
