Where did you find that kit for $99? That would be a good deal.

Hobbytown USA.

I assume you left the radio equipment and engine out?

Seems to be gone off the market
 
Hobbytown don't list it anymore and I couldn't find an alternative supplier. Shame - I waited too long.

RV4($99) and RV8 ($210) models are still there though.

So if you had actually fully completed your RV-9 it would have taken at least 9 more days:p

Scott, I sure hope you're wrong. If not, I should finish my 9A slow build kit on or about February 2102 and I'll be roughly 151 years old. I'm not sure I'll still have a medical....

I gotta get me one of them.

That is a great deal! I paid $115 @ www.amainhobbies.com a few weeks ago.
Looks like they have sold out as well. :confused:

RV9model
 
I just got one through a local Hobby Town USA! She said the computer shows there are about 6 of them still in inventory around the country.

Happy hunting, I bagged mine!

Engine
 
I found your engine.





Since it is about 10% scale, I assume you can buy an exhaust from Vetterman for about $100.00.

To avoid having a "hangar-queen", (or maybe I schould say: "wall-queen"... hehe...) I suggest you fly her with regular intervalls.

And during the very first flight, remember to fly with high powersettings so the engine will be broken in.... :D

Post pics of the 1st flight here in the forum please...? ;)
