Hi all ,
Even though I've built and am just out of the restricted Flt hrs on my RV 6 , ( o-320 / FP). I've taken on a RV 7A project and I'm sold on the idea I need a constant speed prop and at least a o-360 on the nose of this old guy A/C, I'm kinda stuck because I have an opportunity to buy an angle valve I0-360 but i'm worried about the issues with the nosewheel collapses and how much extra weight I can hang up there! I've researched and plan on installing the anti-splat nosewheel brace but don't want to create problems that can be avoided while building my last airplane !!
One last thing I should mention is the plane will be operated out of my grass runway , hence the nose gear concern
Any ideas and opinions would be greatly appreciated , cheers Garry.
