Need Information and intro for RV-9
 
I'm about to make the jump to building an RV9. I need tools, introduction to riviting, buiding, ect. Can anyone help?

Check the RV White pages
 
See: http://www.vansairforce.net/db/RVWPcode/rvwp_9.asp There is a 9 builder listed for Ocala and he can probably put you in touch with others, since the white pages list only a small number of the total builders.

Also check the white pages listing for all types, not just RV-9's as the 7's, 8's & 9's go together pretty much alike.

Then check EAA.org & look for a chapter in your area. I would give you the URL but the website seems to be down this evening.

Alexander ...
 
....Tech center in Eastman, Ga. will help you build the entire empennage in one week! You'll then have just about all the skills needed to finish the structure.

I can help you get started when you're ready.
I'm based at Hernando County, KBKV just a short flight away.

Hi Dan............If you are ever on the east side, I'm building a RV-6 and a RV-9A at the New Smyrna Beach Airport (KEVB), a couple miles south of Daytona.....Joe.

Welcome
 
I'm at the Inverness airport (x40) and your welcome to stop by to see my 8A project. I also have a RV-9 tail kit completed you may be interested in.

Alexanders Technical - Big Help!
 
Beth & I did the tail kit school @ Griffen, GA -Money well spent for new builders. Came home with the tail section built and the knowledge needed to feel good about the whole process. Five months later and we are finishing the wings (slow build) and starting the fuselage.

Welcome & good luck...
