    Subject: WD-657 External Step(s):
    JC, Good point. In place of an oil locker I used the space under the floors to put my ELT and strobe power supply. This was done before Van's came out with those parts to mount them behind the baggage compartment. Pictures are here: Strobe: http://www.repucci.com/bill/fuselage/strobe%20power%20pack.jpg ELT: http://www.repucci.com/bill/fuselage/elt%20with%20door.jpg Bill www.repucci.com/bill/baf.html PS. This a -9, not a -9A so I don't have those pesky steps to worry about. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv9-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv9-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Joo Carlos Martins de Medeiros Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 10:02 PM Subject: Re: RV9-List: WD-657 External Step(s): Martins de Medeiros" <jc@infonet.com.br> As soon as I removed the blind rivets I cut the upper panel to create a compartment for a quart of engine oil bottle. Im so glad now. Cause there is no oil in my luggage. :-))) Be carefull in removing the blind rivets. Use a new bit and boelub.

    Subject: Small Engines
    What's the lowest horsepower engine anybody has put into an RV-9 and achieve satisfactory performance? My understanding is that one of the factory demonstrators uses a 118 hp O-235. I only ask about this because I'm researching some alternative engines as a plan B in case I can't find the engine I really want, when I need it, for a price I would grudgingly pay. Some of the ones I'm looking at are as small as 100 hp, but I'm concerned that they just may not be enough guts to get the job done. I'll take any advice except for "bigger is better". That's already plan A. Paul
