Hi, I'm new to these forums so let me do a brief intro. I started and paused my private pilot training 25 years ago. Recently restarted and am in the late stages of PPL now. I'm a fan of RV's in general and would really want to own a 6, 7 or 9 someday. But I don't have the time, space or patience to try to build one myself. I'm in awe of those of you who are building your own planes -- wish I could myself ... but sometimes a man has got to know his own limitations.
So I keep looking on the forums and websites for used RVs. Sometimes I've seen an RV6 that would fit my mission and my budget. But realistically I want a tricycle gear plane. I would love to get a tailwheel endorsement and expand my horizons, but I'm looking for a good xc machine and my passengers would not feel comfortable in a tailwheel.
So I'm wondering if it's possible to change an RV6 to an RV6A? Is is possible with an RV7 or RV9 as well? How much time, effort and money does it take?
