The reason I ask is that I recently purchased a virgin 7A fuselage kit. I had been leaning toward a 7 but the price was too good to pass up. If I can find someone willing to swap parts, I would even throw in a left step for free. If no one is interested, I will build what I have and be just as happy.
New parts only, please.

How much work is it to convert an untouched (as new) RV-7A QB kit to tailwheel? It was mentioned 100 working hours here, but it was a flying RV-
A while back I purchased an RV-7a QB kit: fuselage, wings, engine, prop and Finishing Kit (w/engine mount)
I am going to build it as a -7 and will be purchasing the needed parts from Van's (or if I'm lucky from someone going the other way).
Posted earlier is a list of the differences. I didn't see mention of the Engine Mount. Doesn't it need to be included in the different parts list?
How about MLG legs?

The main landing gear is different. The gear legs on the 7 are longer.
Make sure your mount & legs are matched drilled & not the older mounts that were jigged drilled, unless you have the matched set..
