I'm New Here
Hi all from the UK, I have very excitedly bought myself a RV6a kit from a deceased estate, the aircraft has not been touched since the mid 1990's and been in storage for a good few years. The aircraft at some point has been on its wheels and engine (0-360) fitted.
I am now working away through the service bulletins and the big one standing out it is the nose leg updates. This is where my problems begin.
I have an early nose leg. I have a pal who has a RV7a engine frame and nose leg that he does not want. Can I just use his combination and fit it to mine? I am told that I cannot just have the nose leg as it will have been match drilled the engine frame is this true? I am not that keen on shipping my old nose leg back the the USA and ordering a new nose leg when I have one easily available here in the UK.
What are peoples thoughts?
Will the nose 7a nose leg fit my 6a mid 1990's engine frame?
Will the 7a engine frame fit my already drilled mid 1990's 6a firewall?
Many thanks in advance!
