RV-9A

The RV-9A is an accident in the making, the aircraft has a habit of tripping over it's self and is only a matter of time before one flips on its back and the crew are killed.

Vans produce very good aircraft and it is a mystery to me why some one should spend two years and £60,000 to build one of these with a nose wheel rather than go and get a £1000 worth of education to learn to fly a tail dragger.

At the end of the day the they will spend more money get a vastly worse aircraft.

I can't help thinking that these people think that the nose wheel will protect them from the short comings in personal flying skill or education.
