Default RV-9 Wing Question

Can anyone tell me if a set of 9 wings can be installed on a 7?
I'm led to believe the fuse for both is identical.

The fuselages are similar, not identical. The spar is different as are the side skins, tank attach point, seat ribs, and probably some other parts.

Not to mention an entirely different horiz. stab. and elevator
Technically ... yes ... but a LOT of parts to change.
