Surely the RV-9 isn't such a tank that it needs that long stick to get en=

ough leverage to control it. How long are people leaving it. I was thinki=

ng about a total height of 10 inches. Comments and suggestions Please. I =

don't want to whack them off and then discover they are too short. OOpps.=

Hy Jonhn:

Cut it of after the first flight. Mine is like Vans fabricated it.  Before my first 

flight I was decided to cut it off to 9 inches. Now Im glad Ive waited.

BTW: The 9a is so docile you can flight it with fingers. But at stall and some "Gs" 

maneuvers you will wish 12 inches high stick.



Have a good job

John,

        Have you flown the RV9 yet?  I did and found the controls to be

fairly stiff compared to the 6 and 7.  You need the length to provide the

"arm"  to move the controls.  They are like commercial aircraft. The

lenght I left them was just long enough so the Grip would not bump the

panel.   I owned an Europa for two years and it was very light on the

controls and you "thought" it around the sky's.  Nice controls but light.
