Subject: | PLEASE READ - List Fund Raiser Kickoff! |
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the List services at Matronics. It's solely through the Contributions
of List members that these Matronics Lists are possible. There is NO
advertising to support the Lists. You might have noticed the conspicuous lack
of flashing banners and annoying pop-ups on the Matronics Email List email messages
and web site pages including:
* Matronics List Forums http://forums.matronics.com
* Matronics List List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com
* Matronics List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search
* Matronics List Browser http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse
You don't find advertising on any of these pages because I believe in a List experience
that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and
not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these Lists. Your personal Contribution
counts!
Once again, this year I've got a terrific line up of free gifts to go along with
the various Contribution levels. Most all of these gifts have been provided
by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll find on Matronics Lists and
have been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous people include:
* Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com
* Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
* Jon Croke of HomebuiltHELP http://www.homebuilthelp.com
These are extremely generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective
web sites. Each one offers a unique and very useful aviation-related product
line. I would like publicly to thank Bob, Andy, and Jon for their generous support
of the Lists again this year!!
You can make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure site below:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!

Good morning
I guess I need to sit in one myself and try it out.
Thanks for the info.

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.

I have only 30 or so hours on it, but can give you a bit of

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.

Hi Gary:
Re head room in RV-9s: I'm reasonably sure RV-7s and RV-9s have the same
fuselage; if so the only thing I can think of which could account for
differences in head room would be seat configuration and/or canopy type
(slider vs. tip-up). I have an RV-7A with a tip up canopy and Becky Orndorf
seats (they're great). Granted, I'm only 5'-10" but I have plenty of head
room. My wife is 5'-5" and Becky had to make her a custom seat so she could
see over the glare shield without an uncomfortable booster seat. (Booster
seats are ok for short hops but on long trips they're literally "a pain."
My wife's conclusion after a flight from western Massachusetts to Hilton
Head, SC.) Leg room is another issue. I set the rudder pedal assembly in
the middle range and I'm fine with leg room. However, I had a 6'-3"
individual sit in my airplane a while back: His head was just touching the
canopy and, re leg room, there was no way. Even with the rudders set full
forward I doubt that it would have been doable. With a different seat
configuration things might have been better but then you get into comfort
issues, i.e., less padding - less comfort.
Fly safe,

Hi Gary,
Dan is absolutely correct. The 9 and 7 use the same fuselage. Since you are
sitting on the floor of the cabin on a cushion the thickness of the cushion is
about the only way you can gain headroom. We have had discussion about fitting
the tip up canopy. It comes to requiring quite a bit of trimming and fitting.
If headroom is an issue you would want to be sure to trim very carefully.
Good Luck,
Dennis Thomas

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.

One of my surprises, and that can't really be fixed, is there is no

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.

Hi Gary:
Re head room in RV-9s: I'm reasonably sure RV-7s and RV-9s have the
same fuselage; if so the only thing I can think of which could account
for differences in head room would be seat configuration and/or canopy
type (slider vs. tip-up). I have an RV-7A with a tip up canopy and
Becky Orndorf seats (they're great). Granted, I'm only 5'-10" but I
have plenty of head room. My wife is 5'-5" and Becky had to make her a
custom seat so she could see over the glare shield without an
uncomfortable booster seat. (Booster seats are ok for short hops but on
long trips they're literally "a pain." My wife's conclusion after a
flight from western Massachusetts to Hilton Head, SC.) Leg room is
another issue. I set the rudder pedal assembly in the middle range and
I'm fine with leg room. However, I had a 6'-3" individual sit in my
airplane a while back: His head was just touching the canopy and, re
leg room, there was no way. Even with the rudders set full forward I
doubt that it would have been doable. With a different seat
configuration things might have been better but then you get into
comfort issues, i.e., less padding - less comfort.
Fly safe,

Mine has a 160 hp Superior engine with a 3 blade Cato prop and at

The tip up has much better access to the avionics.

Hi all.-
-
Here is another take on this thread and some details of my craft.- I have
an RV 9A with just over a 100 hours on her.--She has the following set
up.
-
- Slider canopy
-Rudder pedals set in middle section
-Seats are from Classic Aero Design.- I am 6'1" 230lb and-use one of th
eir booster seats for proper fit.
-Seat is positioned in rear most hinge position and I do not use the bracke
t that attaches to the rear of Vans seat.- I have about 2 inches of head
room.-
-
Yes, I have banged my head in rough air, so here is a thought that may help
.- I would suggest putting in a 5 harness seat belt system in place.- T
he crouch strap should minimize any vertical motion and keep ones head from
hitting the canopy.- I have a 4 harness system and it is fine but not pe
rfect.- (Hooker Harness)
-
Best of luck and hope some of these facts help with your decisions.

Another option to maximize headroom is to consider a headband less (if that
is a word) headset. This will give you either side of an inch of additional
space. Also as mentioned before reclining the seat helps as well.

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

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
