Will RV-7 empennage fit RV-6?

is there any info about a 7 empennage working on a 6 fuselage? thanks.

It goes on fine. I have a 7 tail on mine. You will need to make your own plate to attach the vertical stab to the horizontal since that piece is part of the fuselage kit (from what I remember). I haven't fited the fairing yet, so that may require a mod. The 7 tail is heavier, so watch out for aft cg.

Turbo, my -6 has a -7 tail if you recall. Counter balanced VS.

For history's sake, before Van announced the RV-7/7A, they started shipping RV-7/7A tail kits for those ordering RV-6A tail kits... Rosie

Why would you do it?

The smaller -6 rudder/HS work great --- less weight, less drag, less stress --?
