Hello everyone
I'm thinking of building an RV 9A. I'm wondering how they fly, climb,
cruise speed expected, engine size used, fuel economy and any little
quirks they may have.
Can anyone advise me?
Thanks
Gary Pennington

Hello,
The following like goes to an independent site that reports on the airplan
e related testing. It is report on an RV-9a. I believe it is as an unbiase
d test and report as I have ever found. I hope the link works.

Hi Gary,
I bought a flying -9a a few years ago.
I have only 30 or so hours on it, but can give you a bit of feedback.
first, some would say you should tell US what you want to do, and then we
can respond whether the -9a does it well.
otherwise, people will say....'oh they've great, but just not as fast as a
-7"
is that really helpful? a -9a with a 180hp and optimized prop is said to be
just a few knots slower.
One of my surprises, and that can't really be fixed, is there is no
headroom. I am 5' 10and a bit, with an 32 inseam. I have minimal padding in
the seat bottom, but am always banging my headset on the canopy. I can drop
an inch by removing all the padding, but don't like the view over the cowl.
I guess you could call that
'compromise #1'
I'll try to comment further later.
thx
Perry

Hi Perry,
Is your 9A a slider or tip-up? I'm also in the process of getting ready to
start building a 9A, so all the little bits like that can help with design
choices and such along the way.

Hello Perry
Thanks so much for your response. I am 6'3" tall. I might have a problem
in the 9A. I've built other airplanes and hit my head on the canopy too.
Thanks again
Gary Pennington

Hmm, I wonder what is different. I am 6 feet tall and flew with a friend
today who is six feet one and had the booster cushion on his side under
the comfort aero seats and he also had plenty of head room.
Mine has a 160 hp Superior engine with a 3 blade Cato prop and at WOT it
will turn 2800 rpm and 170 kts. I normally cruise at 8500 ft and 2350 rpm
leaned 25 degrees LOP and burn 5.8 gph at 135 kts.
The tip up has much better access to the avionics.
