I am looking at a QB 6 kit complete from a seller that apparently never started anything on it. Can someone steer me to a previous post dealing with issues that I might face dealing with an out of production model? Thanks a lot.
What exactly is the benefit of the larger VS & rudder? Building a very very slow build 6 and have the completed smaller original version hanging on the wall. Is it really worth it to make the change? A Van's employee at Osh told me back when the 7 came out that the only reason they have the 7 at all is the fact that they needed a plane which could share parts with the 8 for purely financial and production reasons. He said Van hit it right on the head with the 6 and it was perfect just the way he designed it. He said he even preferred the 6 over the 7 and said it was like a sports car version of the 7. Any RV6 drivers out there that have flown actually both the original 6 tail and the 6 with the 7 tail? Do you think it might be safer? I'm thinking maybe the guy told me this stuff just to shut me up about my inquire since at the time I was the very agitated proud owner of half a kit that had just become obsolete.sprucemoose said:Depending on the age of the kit, it may still have the smaller VS and rudder. I think they made the switch in 97. If so you could easily built a new VS and rudder.
