I slip comfortably in my -9 and it works fine, but watch the nose. Leland RV9A with 34 hours Yes full flap slips work just fine with the 9a, I have heard from others that some of the other RVs dont slip well, but my 9a seems to nicely come down if you slow it a bit and throw it into a slip.Now, cross controlled stalls, thats another matter. There I was at 6000ft doing my flight test cards like a good little test pilot... Hum ok, time for the cross controlled stall series, slow down, feed in rudder and aileron until fully crossed, keep pulling... holding.... bam Im inverted looking up/down at the ground! Yikes, continue the roll through to right side up. WOW what what that all about? Well, climb back to 6000 and try it again, same thing... Hum, note to self, never feed in full rudder and aileron while in the traffic pattern.Now dont get me wrong, you have to have the nose way up, everything is looking very strange and feeling totally out of any sense of normal before you even get close to this happening, but it was fun!

Howdy, New to the list. I am considering an RV9a (as opposed to a tattered old certified plane). I have a couple of questions, one regarding the above statement. Due to the experimental nature it seems that there would be a bit of the unknown when performing maneuvers such as these. So, how do you conduct such "experiments" without worry of over-stressing the a/c? Secondly, I understand that the -9 is not fully aerobatically rated. My assumption is the longer wingspan. Is there anything else? Is there anything a person could reasonably do during the building process to bring it up to aerobatic standards? Anybody know what +/- g's a -9 is rated for? Thanks for your time!

The wing skins on the -7 (aerobatic one) is thicker than the 9s wing skin.

I didn't know the 9 could do that safely.. is a roll considered aerobatic ?
