I'm New Here
Hello, I am looking for advice on a potential Vans RV-7 purchase. The plane seems to be in good condition, very well built and well maintained.
It is a 2015 model featuring an Aerosport 0-375 engine and it only has 215 hours on it. My concern is around the engine itself being a carburetor model and not fuel injection. I realize it's more things to worry about, a greater chance for icing, and less fuel efficient.
I am wondering if I should hold off for a similar plane with a different engine, see if I could get the engine modified, or if it doesn't make much of a difference.
Thank you very much!
