Building a -7. Working on trim tab... plans call for an E-717, and an E-718 which are inboard and outboard trim horns... Problem is, I dont have such a part. I have an E-617 and an E-618... shows that on my inventory sheet as well... of course it could be wrong parts, or simply a misprinted label put on the correct part! So, I'm not sure what the difference, but will these work or do I need to send them back and swap them for the correct part numbers?
IIRC they are the common part numbers from the RV6 series that was superceded by the 7 ... a way for Van's to save money for us by using existing parts in the updated design.....check the dwg's and they should look right, then build on !
Regards

Yep, there are a few places where that occurs on the 9 also, sharing parts from the 7.

Built an off-plan RV9A with too much fuel and too much HP. Should drop dead any minute now.
Think I got the wrong parts or a misprint...
