All I am currently build an RV-9A I have the empennage about 80% complete awaiting LCP replacements and the wings about 20% complete getting ready to rivet on ribs and starting in on the fuel tanks.
My current plan for the build is as follows
Engine O-320 with FlyEFII system32 fuel injection and ignition
Prop 3 blade Catto
Wingtips Aveo ZipTips. (would prefer the new wingtips with the AeroLEDs but they are not making them for the 9.)
Avionics Garmin G3X with autopilot
Was going to use a Sam James cowl but that may be on hold due to the no parts deletions. depends on if I could find a buyer for the stock cowl shipping it is going to be a pain though.
I know I need to add an extra fuel connection on the tanks for the return line for the system32. Is there anything else with this build that those with these items know I need to build into the wings? Planning on finishing the wings this spring and starting the fuselage early this summer.
I have an A&P friend that is going to help me rebuild an engine to save money good thing too if I had to order an engine at current prices most of my upgrades would be going away.
