I'm getting ready to order my finish kit and there is something that doesn't quite make sense. Here's Van's list of what's in the finish kit:
# Plexi-glass canopy, light gray tint is standard; clear available on special order.
# Welded canopy frame.
# Fiberglass cowl and mounting materials.
# Engine mount.
# Main gear legs (RV-3, RV-4, RV-6, RV-7). Includes axles, wheel nuts, spacers and installation hardware.
# Fiberglass spinner with aluminum mounting plates.
# Fiberglass landing gear and wheel fairings.
# New Cleveland 5:00 x 5 wheels and brakes with hardware.
# All brake lines and hardware.
# New 5:00 x 5 tires and tubes.
# Wing root and empennage/fuselage fairings.
# Nosegear leg, fork, and wheel assembly on RV-6A, RV-7A, RV-8A, RV-9A.
Now...why do they need to know if I'm going to be using FI or a carb? The reason I ask is because I'm 99% certain that I'm going to be using a -360 (parallel valve) with a Hartzell C/S prop but I haven't decided what type of fuel metering I'm going to have. Will I have to exchange parts if I choose FI on the form and end up installing a carb?
