I have fiberglass poles like 24' of them for my rotatable dipole, at 17 meters it's 36' I made a walk up device fastened to the rear bumper of the camper and in that case guying is a must. I have an R7 it's off the ground about 8' Cushcraft says it's OK not guyed they do however make a kit to guy it! Mine is guyed because winds off the mountains have exceed 60 MPH here. I really don't think you would have a problem with 9' of antenna We have 2 18+ feet of single point mount antennas at our club repeater site @ 1600 feet.
