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

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....

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

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