My first thought about Claude's comment and numbers was the same as Bill's.
I don't believe them. I think some RV-9a's are registered as RV-9's. The FAA does care with experimental. You could call it a 6-VR if you wanted.
I picked a 9 as I wanted a stable IFR platform for Cross County more than I wanted aerobatics. Then I wanted a fun plane to fly and a tailwheel is more fun for me.

I built a 9 because I was a low time pilot. I built the 9 over the 9A because...
Anyway, I am loving it.

Yeah I agree. In the beginning there was no 9A. My 9 kit was a 9. There was no tailwheel option by the factory so all*nose draggers were 9's.
I knew the 9 were fewer than the 9A but I wouldn't have thought so much so.
I recently bought a plane from a guy who just bought a 9A. He wanted a 9 but found a nice A and purchased it.
Now I'm selling the 9/9A idea to another guy at work so it got me wondering how many 9's were out there to choose from.
