I've often wondered why the RV9 group is less active than the 10 list as well. I can think of two possible reasons. First, because of a handful of RV10 builders who drive that list. People like Tim Olsen, Deems Davis and others who contribute regularly. Second, the RV10 is a newer model and being a larger, four-place plane there is much to learn about building it. The RV9 is much like an RV7, but with different wings. Many of the building issues have been covered over and over again. I find that I can get answers to most of my questions by searching the forums for the RV6, RV7 and RV9. The RV10 is a different animal. Anyway, welcome to the group. I have completed the tail kit and wings and I'm about half way through the fuselage. I started last Labor day weekend and we (my Dad and brother are working with me) most everyday through the middle of May. Then I opened a new business and progress on the plane has slowed to a crawl. Just starting to find time to work on it again.

Congratulations on starting the -9. It's a great airplane as I was reminded as I flew as a flight of two -9As to Oshkosh last week with Matthew Brandes. It goes fast and it can also go slow when necessary. Flying into OSH you need to be able to do both. We packed all our camping stuff into the baggage area and had exactly zero problems flying across the country in a homebuilt aircraft. You are going to love it. As a builder of both a -9 and a -10 (in progress), I think the reason for less traffic is that the -9 is a lot like a -7, and therefore many of the discussions about canopy cutting and such gets merged with the other lists. There's also a lot of resources like Dan's site that help us with our -9s that simply don't yet exist for the -10. Anyways, enjoy the experience. It really is worth all the work.

It seems to be a more active list than just the "9" list.

The powerplant, prop, and avionics are still unanswered questions too.

I hope you enjoy building as much as I have. One of the reasons why this list is less active than the RV-10 list is that many builders have moved to the www.vansairforce.net forum.
