I had the same problem (Firefox 1.0.7, Fedora Core 4 Linux). I ended up
right-clicking on the RV-9A link and selecting "Save Link As..." to
store it on my computer before trying to open it with Adobe Reader.
If you are using Internet Explorer, you can do the same thing using
"Save Target As...". I just rebooted into Windows to try this and only
got part of the file on the first download attempt. My second attempt
gave a 1.43MB file and I was able to successfully view it in Adobe
Reader.

Not true. This is the most common, and VANS recommended method of
adjusting for the initial wing-low condition many RVs experience.
Considering the surface area of a flap, one or two turns makes a
significant difference, yet you hardly notice it visually.
You can always adjust the neutral stick position if necessary without
necessarily changing the aileron positions.

Hmmm, I just re-read the Vans pdf file I have that contains
instructions for dealing with a heavy wing and it doesn't
mention anything about the flaps ... did you mean aileron ?
I think the doc I have refers to the 6 - do you have a
different doc that's specifically for the 9 ?

All,
I was able to zip the file from >1.4Mb down to <1.1Mb. I'm using dsl and
the original takes 5-10 seconds to download, I do apologize to those hwo are
using dialup for not mentioning the filesize. The report was originally to
be published in a magazine so it contains some nice color photography that
might not be needed for a builder with a set of plans:-)
I enjoyed the flying qualities description by C.J. Stephens and thought the
data on stick forces was good to know especially the part about light stick
forces on take-off. I've heard Brien talk about their evaluation at the
local EAA 124 chapter meetings and I know he really likes the particular
balance of this planes design.

Steve,
Is there a place you could put the zip file so we can get it? I can't get
the pdf file either.
Thanks!
