Infinity Control Grip

I am installing the Infinity Grip on the pilots side only of my RV-9. I am asking for help from RV builders that have done this in their RV-7 or 9. My question is where did you drill the hole in the base of the control stick to eliminate binding in the movement of the stick, and I am also installing...

ELT Antenna location

The antenna will work well behind the roll bar on the sliding canopy ( one advantage of the tip up canopy) but will not work on the sliding canopy. I did like the idea of location between the Horizontal and Vertical stabilizers. Can the antenna be located inside an enclosed area like that?

Update

I called Van's and they said the engine will work on the 9 but not on the 9A due to the carburator being on the back side of the intake it would interfear with the nose wheel landing gear of the 9A.

RV 9 Empennage

Yes I do. So many pilots after flying for some time get sloppy and start what I call a 3 point landing with nose dragger planes and that is a formula for disaster. A tail dragger keeps you sharp or you pay the price and we know that. ----- Original Message ----- From: RB Lists - RV9 ( support@rivetb...

I am also building the -9 tail dra...
