Guys that have been around long enough to remember may have the answer to a friend's question.
He is soon to be test flying his RV6A that started life before the counterbalanced rudder.
His question is why did Van's go to the counterbalanced rudder on the 6?
Since he has the non counterbalanced rudder and I have the original counterbalanced rudder I built when my kit was a 6, I offered to give him mine because I have the free replacement larger one that is now recommended for the 7 (not built yet).
Before he goes thru the trouble of removing and reinstalling fairings etc., he would like to know why Van's switched.
Thanks!
