Surely the RV-9 isn't such a tank that it needs that long stick to get en=
ough leverage to control it. How long are people leaving it. I was thinki=
ng about a total height of 10 inches. Comments and suggestions Please. I =
don't want to whack them off and then discover they are too short. OOpps.=

Hy Jonhn:
Cut it of after the first flight. Mine is like Vans fabricated it. Before my first
flight I was decided to cut it off to 9 inches. Now Im glad Ive waited.
BTW: The 9a is so docile you can flight it with fingers. But at stall and some
"Gs"
maneuvers you will wish 12 inches high stick.
Have a good job

John,
Have you flown the RV9 yet? I did and found the controls to be
fairly stiff compared to the 6 and 7. You need the length to provide the
"arm" to move the controls. They are like commercial aircraft. The
lenght I left them was just long enough so the Grip would not bump the
panel. I owned an Europa for two years and it was very light on the
controls and you "thought" it around the sky's. Nice controls but light.
