Hi folks,
I am almost receiving my RV9A that is being built professionaly for me (I don't have time and think I lack competence for doing it myself....)
I am writing to ask help from you that already built and have experience with the RV9A, mine will be equipped with XIO-320-D1A (160 Hp) and a constant speed propeller Hartzell HC-C2YL-1BF/F7663-4.
For this characteristics I would like to know from your pratical knowledge and experience (once I could not get the information anywhere else or when I got it was incomplete or differs slightly from the ones I can find on Vans site )... so I ask what would be:
a) Vx (Best angle of climb speed) ?
b) Vy (Best rate of climb speed) ?
c) VANS states that Cruise [75% @ 8000 ft] TAS would be 186mph for this configuration , is that attainable or too optimistic (in that case what you often/easily get on yours) ?
d) Vs0 (stall speed full flaps) ?
e) Average rate of climb you get gross weight
f) For this horsepower (160hp) are your take offs often shorter than landings?
g) And finally if anyone has RV9As performance charts (for altitude density) or any extra data if possible please send to my email: [email protected]
I appreciate all the help in advance and the possibility to compare all data from different owners/builders for the same aircraft.
Many thanks
