******************************************************************************
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.
- Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.

December 22 saw the successful completion of the airworthiness inspection of N927BJ
(90616) RV9. I am told that there are only about dozen conventional gear
9's. Weather has prevented the beginning of the flight test program, but my
transitional training at Scapoose, OR with Mike Seager has me excited about the
prospects.
Will keep you posted.

Did you perhaps mean to say "November 22"? Well, congrats.
Only a dozen -9 taildraggers? I flew one. There's one based at OSH;
owner is a CFI and he let me fly left-seat for an hour one day back in
May. (I didn't land it; that was my first time in a taildragger, ever.)

John, I have one of those 9's. Great flying airplane but it glides to
good and darn hard to get in a three point with full flaps. Pretty easy
with min flaps though the glide path is shallow.

John,
Congrats on your airworthiness inspection.
Good to know that the training with Mike Seager was money well spent.
I'm currently flying a Decathlon about once a month and plan on taking
training with Mike before my first flight.
You are correct, there are not very many -9's out there. It seems the
support staff at Van's discourages people from building the -9. One of
the guys there even told me it wasn't too late for me to convert mine
from a -9 to a -9A.
Van's does not know what is being built until the fuselage is ordered
and when I ordered mine last year they said less than 12 TD's had been
sold. In addition he went on to comment that it was a waste of
engineering effort to design the -9 and this is the reason there will
not be a TD -10 or -12.
If you ever make out the Charlotte, NC area let me know. I would love
to beg you for a ride.

Well there is another -9 on the way, Van's just shipped my fuselage today.
I was all up to build a 9A until I took a couple of hours with Mike in
the -7. that convinced me that a -9 was in my future. The one thing that
convinced me was the fact that the -7 was just about as easy to handle on
the ground as my old 41 Taylercraft with heal brakes, also without the main
landing gear weldment right under the seat getting in and out is easier.
Other plusses are the kit is somewhat cheaper, no extra wheel pant and
fiberglass, no external step, two can get on the wing and get in without
fear of the tail hitting the ground
