I was hoping to get some insite from you guys that own RV6 planes. I have been debating between an RV7 and an RV6. One of the reasons I have been debating between the two is the head and leg room. There seems to be about 3 1/2" of additional leg room and 1 1/2" of head room in an RV7. I was wondering what your thoughts were since I am 6'2" and 240 lbs? Any other RV6 owner out there around the same size as me and fit comfortably in their RV6?
The other reason was aerobatics. I am looking for a plane that I can perform gentle aerobatics in. From what I understand, the RV7 may be a bit more stronger however have been told that the RV6 still has stress limits of +6 and -3Gs at aerobatic gross weights. I don't know too many people that could stand much more than 4Gs without passing out anyways, so I am assuming the RV6 would likely meet my needs.
