KatieB's RV-9

Well, I did it... Merry Christmas to me! I've been talking about doing it for over a year, and finally placed my order for an RV-9 tail kit. Since selling Tony Boy, my RV-3B rebuild project, I've lurked around here just to keep in touch, probably annoying a few people and stirring some pots, but it just ain't the same. I've missed being an active part of this community and I've missed working on airplanes. I anticipated waiting quite a while to get my tail kit... so I placed my order today. But Van's charged my card for the whole amount. So I'll take that as a cue to start building my basement workshop! :eek::eek: S***'s getting real!!

Cheers y'all, & Merry Christmas! I am SO excited! :D
 
Katie----congrats on starting the elephant sandwich :D:D

And, Merry Christmas back at ya.
 
Glad you carried through on the threat Katie! ANd although its not a -3, we’re happy to have you back in the builder column....

I guess this means the Cougar is out.... :cool:

Yeah, it would have been really cool to work with Dan & Rachel on one of those! But it’s not done yet, and I think a side-by-side is more practical for what I want to do with the plane. And I missed all these yahoo’s on VAF. :D
 
You will love the 9 Katie great choice! I was wondering what happened to your 3B project you were so close... Welcome back!

PS; place order for the wings right away there is not much to build in the tail :)

Good choice

You have joined a small but very wise group of -9 drivers. We have the best kept secret all-around flying model that Vans offers. You will love that wing and hopefully you will have your plane built and flying soon. Enjoy the journey!
 
the -9 will keep you safer and a -9A will keep your insurance rates lower. think about how much avgas that could buy.... every year. it's thousands of dollars.
