-9A, Tip-up, Fixed pitch (ground adjustable), Fuel Injection, dual P-mags, 160hp.

I have to duck when closing a slider, so no issues like that with a tip-up and a better view.

Sorry, not fair. ;-) Rockets are awesome, but not straight down the fairway of the RV family (at least for me; love to fly one someday, tho!)

And I guess for added fun we can add axis for C/S vs FP and Injected vs Carb.

Not sure Mag or No mag gets the same amount of discussion.

I've got 6A - Tip up - Fixed Pitch - Carb - No mag - 160HP

I'll chart replies and see what we might see.

RV-7A slider still building and had planned on P-mags with horizontal cold air sump, FI, FP.

Found a great deal on a engine that is ready to bolt on and go so am now going to be vertical carbureted with Slick mags until I can upgrade down the road.
