Larry,
I have not done this, but have spoken to Van's while building my -6A. The main
issue is weight & balance. This tail puts a lot more weight aft of the CG. A
wood prop 6 with 320 would be tough to balance. While flying with Mike Seager
(factory trainer) he said the 6 rudder & VS is the best one and you would not
need the 7 rudder. I took his word for it since he has about 3000 hours in all
types of RV's.
I'm sure you can tell the difference on either 7 rudder (small or large) versus
the standard 6 rudder. What exactly was your impression?

I have flown a lot of taildraggers over 45 years and found the RV-6 to
be a wonderful airplane but it does take more skill to keep it straight
down the runway on takeoff than anything I have flown. Is this where
the larger rudder makes the difference?
