******************************************************************************
RV9-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the RV9-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the RV9-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
RV9-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the RV9-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.

I was doing some of the flight tests we have to do here in the UK and I have
some pretty reliable climb info which I thought I would share. I know I was
very interested when I was building.
#90360 RV9A
O-320-E2D & electric c/s MT prop - 150hp
Gross = 1617lbs
90mph climb 1635 fpm
100mph climb at 1645 fpm
These seem slightly better than VANS numbers. That I cant explain but I
think they are quite repeatable.
I suspect best climb will turn out at 105 or 110mph. Below 90 it falls off
badly.
Ambient temp at surface 68F, climbs between 1000' and 3000' on 1013mb
Speed? I still have no idea. Its harder to do accurately than I ever
believed.
Keep riveting, Steve.
G-IINI

Steve
Van's letter addresses the distance between the NOSE STRUT AXLE and the
ground, not the wheel axle. I happen to agree with Van's that you cannot design
anything, especially a nose gear that is fool-proof and fail-proof. I've seen
a
lot of collapsed nose gears over the years and almost all were a result of
pilot abuse. The most by far are bounced landings and the pilot allowed the nose
to drop. And some where they just landed it on the nose. And of course there
were a few where the pilot took a short excursion through a ditch or a frozen
snow bank. A very small percentage were a result of linkage or unabused
structural failure.

I posted this to the general RV list but I thought I'd post here too -not sure
how many 9 builders/flyers subscribe to the master list as well...
(The first part concerns my vacillating between a 7/9 and why I decided on the
9.)
First of all, for anybody who followed the thread, I did decide to go with the
9A over the 7. I was originally going to just put my order on hold until I got
a chance to fly both the 7A and 9A but did enough research and got enough
private mails from people on the list to convince me. And I'm never going to
get the chance to fly either in IMC as a demo anyway. I sort of liked the
possibility of sport aerobatics at some point but XC and especially IFR
suitability and stability are much more important to me. Can't have
everything.
(It wasn't that I didn't know the differences between the 9 and the 7 - I did -
but I guess I had convinced myself that since many ppl fly IFR in 6s/7s, I
could too. And maybe I could, but I'd rather have the stable ride.
Single-pilot IMC in my C-152 is demanding enough for me - I'd rather not
increase the workload.)
Going to the 9 is fitting, though, since seeing the 9A prototype at OSH 2000
was what initially inspired me to get my PPL. It was the first kitplane I ever
wanted, and now I've come full-circle indeed. (I was almost embarrassed to
call Van's again after just changing my order from a 10 to a 7A, but the girl
laughed and said this is not terribly uncommon. They hadn't started putting
together my QB kit.)
Question regarding engines. I'm not at all sure I'd want to go FI (I'm trying
to keep the costs down, since my panel is gonna cost a bundle, and I like the
simplicity of the carb), but I noticed that Van's offers no FWF kit for the
IO-320. I am sure there are those out there with FI 320s - how much of a pain
was it? Where is your servo mounted? Are you using the stock cowl with the
scoop?
2nd question: Experiences with the 3-bladed Catto prop? It looks to me like
they make great stuff. I did search the archive and see some positive reports.
I would be really interested in seeing numbers to compare to the 79 pitch
Sensenich that Van's recommends.
TIA.
