As far as I know, the only change to the RV-9 kit that has been made since 2007 is adding the stall warning to the wing.
Oh? What's this? I got an RV-9A kit in early 2009, I don't recall any stall warning added at any time. You mean a change to the wing design to better indicate an imminent stall?
If I understand the rules correctly (unlikely), if you end up building less than 51% you won't be able to get the repairman's certificate.
The 51% refers to how much of the project needs to be built by amateurs.

This is exclusive of paint, avionics, and interior as I recall.
You will need to prove that you know the construction well enough to qualify for the repairman's cert, not what percentage you personally did.
Best to wait for Mel, or Vic or one of the other DAR's to check in.
OOPS, missed your location.The Canada rules are a bit different
I will be using AOA so stall horn is not an issue although I do like the comfort of that buzz in my ear.
............ The Canada rules are a bit different but they are looking for qualified knowledge................Cheers.
..where did you find this 'qualified knowledge' term?????
Mike, as far as I know, in Canada, you buy it, ( kit or complete aircraft) ......you fix it, you sign the yearly CCI ( Condition & Conformity Inspection)
....but darned if I can find the Transport Canada document that actually SAYS that.
Looked at COPA site and a few other RAA pages, but......for what it's worth, that's the way many of us have been operating.
Many Canucks have gone shopping for one of the nicely equipped, bargain RV-4/6's in the U.S. and brought them home.
sorry I don't have more specifics.
