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. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:47:28 AM PST US Subject: RE: RV9-List: Re:Re:RV-9A Insurance From: Gerry Filby --> RV9-List message posted by: Gerry Filby 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 ? g > > --> RV9-List message posted by: "fcs@jlc.net" > > > > changing the length of one of the flap push rods should not have made any > difference to a heavy wing... > > Not true.

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.

I can't get the pdf file either. Thanks!
