I've searched online for this, but only seen one picture of it. What does it entail to put an RV7 or 9 tail on an RV6....or is it even logical?
I inspected and delivered this 6A with a 7 tail several years ago. It was modified during construction after a hurricane damaged it. He insisted the 7 rudder retrofit was very straightforward and no cutting required. A "bolt-on" to hear him describe it.I've searched online for this, but only seen one picture of it.

It flew fine although I never have personally liked the aesthetic appeal of the larger rudder and stab. Additionally, the larger rudder isn't needed for stability or effectiveness.
