Van's RV-9A
Van's RV-9A Second prototype at Oshkosh 2000

That would be me in the drivers seat of Van's RV-9A second prototype at Oshkosh 2000. That looks like a serious RV grin already!

Current status as of 2/11/01:
The wing kit arrived on 1/22/01! The top and bottom skins have been match drilled and one leading edge has been assembled.

Download Van's AutoCAD drawing file for the RV-9A instrument panel outline.
This is an AutoCAD release 13 drawing(.dwg) file of the instrument panel outline for the RV-9A sliding canopy, drawn to scale including all 25 mounting holes.
Thanks to Chris Heitman for getting this from Van's and getting permission to distribute it to other builders
Note: This is a 16K .zip file that unzips to a 50K .dwg file, only because my free webhost only allows certain file types - and .dwg is not one of them!
