My Narco transponder Is on its way to greener pastures. I’m planning a panel upgrade to G3X Touch (experimental), but I’m not ready to do it all yet. Ideally, I want to replace the transponder now, and reuse it when I do the full panel. The GTX 45R is what I was planning for the...

Eman, I use 1.5 or 2 liters per hour, depending on altitude. It leaves plenty of time. Like 3+ hours for me and my wife at the same time. It is refillable. My mechanic at the airport fills it for “free”. For how infrequently I need oxygen, I wouldn’t change a thing. If I needed oxygen all the...

Might not be your thing, but I put one together off of Amazon for a fraction of the price of an "aviation" system. $200 for 2-place. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086VRZYYD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

I would agree...each one might be set up differently. I'm 6'1" , 185lbs, with a 34" inseam (long legs). I have absolutely no issue with clearance on the panel. That said, there is a "standard" panel, and a longer panel that comes down a couple inches lower...that might be the difference. But in...

I can fit a couple full-size (wife size) pieces of luggage, plus an O2 tank, laptop, a couple blankets. Fitting them into the luggage area over the seats can be a challenge for the large pieces, but it's doable. I'll take some pics when it's fully loaded later this week.

Potentially much less! I got lucky w/ mine.

*Discloser* - I'm a card-carrying fan-boy. Completely agree w/ Peter. RV-9A I absolutely love this plane. I've owned other planes in the past, and flown a bunch of others as well. But for me, this is the best of speed, economy, safety, and fun. My numbers are similar to Peter's. I plan 155kts...

You can't change it on the fly. It's a set it up once for your legs, and leave it.

In a -9A? I'm 6'1", and I have a TON of room under the panel. No issue with knees at all. The only space issue for me is the rudder pedals, but those are adjustable, and I moved them back. I have really long legs, and I fit well. On long XC, I will put my legs past the pedals onto the firewall...

Mine's not for sale ('cuz it's AWESOME). But I'm in the Midwest, too. I'm happy to answer any questions or go for a flight if we happen to be in the same area. Good luck in your search. This is my second time owning (first RV), and after years of searching, I found my forever plane.

Still available. PM me if interested.

$345/mo for a T-hangar at KLXT (Lee's Summit, MO) $500/mo for community hangar.

Problem solved, I think. I also noticed it when pulling cabin heat.

Great questions. I don’t have an alternate static. so I suppose it could be a disconnected line in the cabin. Next time I’m out, I’ll do a little more investigation. Not a big deal, and doesn’t affect performance. Just really unexpected behavior!

Thinking about it, I ought to try this again without the autopilot.

Yes, although hard to say exactly because altitude hold was on. It really was less than a second.

I just noticed some strange behavior on a long XC. Trimmed out at altitude, cruise speed, autopilot on. All of a sudden the plane quickly pitched up, just for a second. I asked my daughter if she bumped the stick. Nope. 10 min later, I’m getting really hot, so I open the air vent wide open...

Bump... Still for sale.

I'm with you. My wife is very similar. While not interested in flying herself, it's a blessing to have a partner that loves to go places. We fly all over the country to see our kids and have adventures. At first, she was humoring me/tolerating it. Now she loves it. Like you, totally comfortable...

Looks like 8.5” wide, and it’s spring-loaded for the height.
