Hi guys,
Possibly jumping the gun here, but I've convinced myself to start on an RV-9A QB kit?order form is filled out, and I'm phoning in my deposit on Monday.
I'm all fidgety with excitement, and am looking forward to a long, rewarding and no doubt challenging project. I'm not current with my pilot certificate, but I did my training back in '06 in a Diamond DA-20, so I hope the transition to the RV-9A won't be too difficult. Gonna go with a carbureted O-320 and a fairly basic VFR panel, for fair weather flights on nice sunny days. Need to sell the hobby car to make garage space for the hobby plane, but it ought to be sold in plenty of time to make room for the fuse and wing panels.
Is there anyone nearby (Orange County/Los Angeles) with a 9 or 9A who'd be willing to give me a ride for inspiration? Lunch on me, of course!
This forum seems like a very friendly and amazingly helpful place. I'll be asking a lot of questions, to be sure. Documenting the build really does add to the fun.
