Welcome to my website. My name is Mike Behnke and I'm building a Van's RV-9A airplane.
What is a Van's RV-9A?
Van's Aircraft makes a series of very popular kitplanes, with more than 5,000 planes flying and many more under construction. The RV-9A is a 2-seat version that will cruise at around 185 mph and has a range of over 700 miles. It is easy to fly, economical and versatile. In addition to local hops and short cross-country flights, it can also serve as a good IFR cross-country platform. Unlike Van's prior models, the RV-9A is not designed for aerobatics, but then again neither am I.
This website is to document the construction of my airplane to meet FAA requirements, and to share my project with other builders and visitors. Please feel free to contact me at mike@mikesrv9a.com with any questions or comments about my project or my website.
