I built an RV6 tail 20 years ago, backing out for a thousand reasons. None of those reasons is currently in play, so I'm looking at starting a new kit.
In my 6 experience, I had a lot of trouble with jigs, which was then multiplied on the actual tail surfaces. When the 8 came out, it had pre-punched skins but still required jigging and match drilling. The present 7, as I understand it, is match-drilled and requires no jigs at all.
What about the current 8 kits? Do they still require match drilling and jigging? My flying preference would be an 8, but I'd like to do everything possible to minimize the potential for error.
Thanks in advance. Great site.
