Hi Guys

RV-9A builder here breathing a sigh of relief that I'm not affected. I will definitely be keeping an eye out on these areas in the future.

But no more than any other area of the -9 as this problem doesn't effect us

Take it back now and get the GPS included unit, you will want to pick up your iPad and use it without the hassle of the extra receiver, later by all means get the extra receiver (with GLSNOSS) if you have trouble recieving a signal in the cockpit

In addition - you are so lucky over there, this side of the 'pond' we no longer have a Plymouth (EGHD) Airport, which closed last year due (so they say) it could not support modern commercial operations (runway too short for jet commercials - turbo-prop -8s being the biggest flown there) - the flyin...

HA!

John, It's a short hop. Come on over. I will put you up here!

Hi CJ - It's got to be done one day, so I may actually take you up on your offer - reciprical offer applies

When I first saw the topic line, I thought I was in for a treat, then realised it was Plymouth USA, not England )

I have used 'Sunstate Aviation' at Kissimmee Airport - all good

Whta's the price for the heated version ?

Hi Guys

I'm thinking of fitting the 'AE Fuel Guardian' - what have you who have fitted this device used as their safety margin, and can you please give me a verticle measurement, rather than me playing around with the recommended water and tube

John

My friends RV9a QB fuselage had the tray for the Concorde battery (left side firewall) included, when he had the finishing kit arrive it had the kit for the Odyssey battery (right side of firewall)

Hi Guys

Anyone got any tips (or photo's) of fitting the span-wise rib (W-931) to the -9 wing tip - do you use a 'POP' type rivet or 'buck' a solid rivet

John

CJ - I do believe we are getting there - the 'standard' VANs EGT & CHT gauges are to be used with Electronics International probes and wires, so I just make sure I know what make of probes I need for my particular make of gauges, I'm now presuming !!! most are compatable with EI probes etc Thank for...

CJ, thank you, but what I guess I really want to know is how they work, can I connect any make of intrument (I like round dials) so if I go for other than the Vans dials, like UMA do they just get connected and away you go - also my fellow builder with his build is going all glass, again do the 'wir...

Hi Guys

When you fit your EGT & CHT gauges, wether steam or 'glass panel' do they need calibrating, I'm a bit naive on how these devices actually work.

Is this what you are looking for:

Hi CJ

I'm sorry, you have got me at 'cross purposes', - what I want to know is how people have cut into the black conduit, part way along part way along it's length, so as to get wiring out, for (as I said) the AP servo

John

Hi CJ

Slow build wings, but now up to the QB state ie ready for the botton skins once internals and wiring completed - we put the holes in the ribs as per 'Vans's' option for the conduit

John

Hi Guys

I'm using the 'standard' black convoluted conduit tubing for the wing wiring on out -9a: what's the best way to make a neat (non-abrading) hole part way down the length for routeing (for example) the wiring for the AP servo.

John

Thanks guys

John

Hi Guys

Can someone remind me what Bag 1924 (wing hardware - RV9a) is for, consisting of #8 round head screws, and platenuts.

Best regards
