Anyone with experience cruising at 17,500 to FL220 in a RV-9A? I have a 9A with 195HP which I am told has a ceiling of over 23,000 but have not tried it yet.
Thanks, Ken

I routinely cruise between 13-17000 (with oxy cannula). Great mileage and smooth sailing in most cases and even better if one finds a tailwind. I have not gone above 18000, but at 17500 (solo) I can still see ~700 fpm climb.

Vlad,

sh I made some homemade tank brackets, being even cheaper than Bob! The only other difference is that my cannula connectors are mounted on the back side of the roll bar, kind of above the passenger's head so that I can easily reach both connectors from the left seat (and I have a tipup whereas Bob's is a slider).
