In the past I've asked a couple of questions about the various VS & rudders used on the RV-6 series; and thanks to Mel & others, have recieved a good history of the 2 VS & rudders used, when the change as made, and the reasons why.
Now I'd like to ask the same about the HS & elevators. Through searching and reading, I get the feeling that the basic HS design did not change, and only the skin thickness went from 0.016 to 0.020 at some point or as an option??
Can I replace (in theory) the elevators on a 1991 vintage RV-6 with say elevators from a 2000 vintage empennage (control horn drilling problem)?
