How much difference will 7 more ounces make by adding the Bell fork?
My soon to be new to me -6 has a Van's tail wheel with fairing. Doug Bell said they weighed both with the bolts but less the wheel and the Bell was 7 ounces more. I would have to weigh the fairing and subtract that amount from the 7 ounces to see what the exact difference would be for my plane.
Just wonder how much effect a few ounces back there is going to have on handling? I have read all the posts I could find and ereyone that has made this change seemed to really like it.
