The -7 and -9 taildragger engine mounts and gear legs are not interchangeable.

The -9 wing needs to stall at a higher angle of attack. To get the wing to be stalled in a three point attitude, the -9 needs longer gear than the -7. Because the gear are longer, the mounting tubes have to be at a different angle to put the wheels in the correct location.

No problem. I added that to this thread jus in case someone finds it in the future and thinks they are the same. This could save someone a lot of pain.

6A and 7A are not the same at all. Different diameters, different lengths, different bend angle. The only thing the same is the axle.

Nose dragger mains are different than taildragger mains as well. Nothing the same about any of them, except the axle.
