The Hobbs meter for RV9a's just hit 1000 on the Van's homepage.

Very cool.

One amazing aircraft!

This aircraft always amazes me whenever I fly it. Keep those completions coming. Looks like this was serial number 90084? That's perseverance.

Mine was 90054 and took me 12 years to complete with cross country moves and changes of jobs. Have faith and press on. I have now been flying for almost 4 years. It is a great airplane. "Miss May" on Vans 2015 Calendar.

Check with your local FAA FSDO. Some of them like coming out to look at experimental, and will make time to do it. If they do, they don't charge!!!

They may or may not, but I was lucky and they did it. A very good experience.
