I was talking to a -7 builder the other day regarding the landing speeds of the -7 & -9. I made the comment the flaps were different between the two and that I didn't think it would be difficult to install shortened RV-9 fowler flaps on a -7.
Has anyone done this?
The expected benefits would be lower landing and stall speeds. The drawback is longer build time. I also wonder if the leading edge on the -9 flaps would fit the -7 wing.
