But I need to add that today was full of adventure for my plane as we rolled it, looped it,

S. Todd Bartrim

I don't suppose I need to mention that Van's doesn't "allow" aerobatics in the RV-9.  Even in the -6 or -7, you'd probably be over the aerobatic weight with two on board.  I saw your RV list post about doing loops in a 150 and 172, and while it's possible to get away with this with a well executed maneuver, it's certainly not a good idea.  Unfortunately, the first loop you screw up, will probably be your last, and I for one, would like to have you around for years to come. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty (building max G's .5 at a time, and inspecting the plane afterwards, then aerobatics)
