On July 2016 my RV-9A F-PRVN had its first flight. The building took 9 years and 15 days, really a slow build. To speed up a little the process, I decided on a very simple painting design.
The panel was built to perfection by Steinair. After 200 hours flight time on cross-country VFR, I am still amazed by the performance and comfort of this plane. Engine is a Lycoming XIO-320 160 hp with a Sensenich fixed pitch propeller.
