Hello,
I am new to the forums posting-wise, but definitely have been reading everything in sight for a several days.
I am trying to decide which RV model that I'd like to build.. which I think I have decided on the -9 because I don't necessarily need anything aerobatic.
My next decision (I know I don't need to make it right away, but ... you know how it goes) is tailwheel vs. tricycle gear. I'm a CFII with about a hundred hours of tailwheel time in various airplanes, so it doesn't bother me to fly tailwheel, but I was just checking in to see if anyone had some insight on the characteristics of the RV-9 as a taildragger. I personally like the look of the tailwheel version better, but hey... any RV is better looking than a lot of other airplanes.![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
At any rate... enjoying the stories and photos here. Very inspiring.
