Anderson's RV-9a Page
E komo mai (Welcome)
Why are we building an RV-9a?
- Fast ... Once you start flying a fast machine like a mooney, an archer just seems slow. (and our club sold our mooney) And the RV goes fast on a little gas...
- Efficient ... 130mph + on 5 gph or near 200 mph on 8gph
- The 9 stall 10 mph slower than the 7 and we spend a lot of time in the mountains (energy is disportinate to the velocity - The slower you go, the less it hurts when you hit something).
- The 10 cost a lot more (mostly the engine and prop) and usually it's just the two of us...
- There are over 6000 RVs flying...
- We can maintain it.
- We lost our mind...
