Hi all,
New here (or at least I was as of this past weekend), in the midst of doing lots of planning, cost rationalizing, etc of the 9a. I got to meet with Andy (Lionclaw here) and see his just-finished 9a.
Anyway, a few questions...
1) This may be answered in the Preview Plans, which are on order... But can anyone give the dimensions of the subkits, such as each wing by itself, the fuselage from firewall back to empennage mount points, etc? I'm trying to measure out how much I can build separately in my 15' long condo garage.
2) I've noticed in here that a few people have mounted IO-360s (especially Mattituck's) on a 9/9a. I thought that going above a 320 was highly recommended against because of the ease of going over Vne?
3) Andy mentioned how he had to do some cowling mods to fit his O-320-B. Can anyone give a general list of which submodels of an O-320, or I guess an O-360 also, are "easier" to mount in the stock cowling?
Just the start of most likely many planning questions. But everyone's used to that, right?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks!
