New RV-9 Builder
Hello, I am new to this site, and having recently purchased tail kit (completed except for elevator), I am looking for all the help, advice & encouragement you can share with me. Especially looking for advice on slider vs tip-up. Thanks, Dave from Marathon, WI

Lots of info and debate in the archives, I would start with the search function, that will keep you busy for days, then if you have more specific questions, ask and you shall receive numerous views and opinions. Welcome! Glenn

Look in the "never-ending debate" section (but there's really no question - the tipup is better  ).
Welcome,

If you don't mind heat stroke!
Nothing better than a refreshing breeze before takeoff and after.........thanks to a slider.

Marathon, WI - no way there will be a heat stroke. Go tip up!

Dave, welcome to VAF.
Dont listen to these guys, you want a set of gull wing doors.
Of course, you need to trade in that 9 for a 10

Dave,
Welcome! As you can already see, everyone is helpful, but no one agrees. I have the final answer on this, however. Build one each and see which you really like! You can give the other one to me...

Hey Future RV9 Flyer,
What are you going to do when you become a current RV 9 flyer? Will you be changing your user name?
I had a similar issue after I sold my Aeronca. I thought Aeroncaflyer was a good email address until that happened. Oh well. There are more important things to stress about during your build.
Have fun and check here often. You'll find the answers to all your questions right here.
Oh and by the way, slider is the way to go!

sit in one of each and then decided. Just remember to build the plane YOU want and not the plane others want you to build.
You will find that some (most?) members of this board want you to build a clone of their airplane.
