We do have the nose gear antisplat nose gear reinforcement. I think it is mandatory for the A models. Especially if you are running anything bigger than an o320 on the front end. It gets heavy.
@@RaceMentallycongrats on becoming a Pilot!! Thats a huge deal! We have a fixed pitch catto 3 blade prop attached to an IO-360 with dual electronic ignition.
I have 9 gallon tip tanks on my 9A. They are fiberglassed in and gravity fed to the mains with AN lines and fittings. 54 gallons of fuel is awesome to have!
@@mikecrowley4275 I'm not sure if any one company makes them for the 9. I know there are a few that do them for the 10 for sure. Mine were custom made by the original builder. He should have sold the plans!
Love your videos; it’s clear you put a ton of work into filming and editing. Thank you!!
Thanks a ton for giving these videos a watch and all the feedback! I really appreciate it!
Your lucky to have a wife who loves flying. She's pretty too.
I am lucky for sure to have her for a wife! Thanks for checking out the video!
Looks like you're equipped to the nines. Bad pun intended. What's your EW?
Looks like she was picking it up nicely. Glad you are both into aviation.
Thanks for checking out the video Mark! Not sure what EW is? But our 9 gets most missions done that I intend it for!
Great video. I’m building a 9A. Did Vans 9A have the Antisplat nose gear reinforcement?

I didn’t read your question right. I cannot comment on the vans plane. I should have asked.
When you said you tried to protect the nose gear, is that why your elevators are tat up on landings?
Ya, We keep the nose wheel off the ground for as long as possible. So you end up stick all the way back by the end of your roll.
Sick video!!!
Can I get those interior panels and seats for my 6A?
Yes you can! I believe a company called Oregon Aero supplied the interior for our bird. Thanks for checking out the video!!

@@svtpete83 Do you know who makes them or where to find them? I’ve got 60 hours on my new RV9A that I built, I’d LOVE to add that option!!!
