I have made my choice to build an RV9 and would like some input on 9 vs 9a?
Little about me and my experience level.
I have a little under 1000hrs, instrument rated, high performance, complex with 25 in tailwheel aircraft.
If I was going to build the 9 it would be a slider a 9a would probably be configured as a tip up.
I don't typically operate out of short fields or grass. The main reason for a 9 tail dragger would be aesthetics. I'm not saying that I haven't seen some really beautiful 9a's, I have.
The one thing that keeps coming up in conversations is that the 9 is or could be a little twitchy in the flare.
I can hardly wait to write the check and join the fraternity.
