The RV-7 and RV-9 fuselages are identical Konrad. Thats how Van's keeps his
prices (and inventory) so low.  In case you didn't realize it, the RV-7 is
an RV-9 fuselage mated to the aerobatic wings and tail of the RV-8.  I
suspect the RV-6 fuselage is also the same dimensions at the firewall so a
-6 cowl should fit on the -7 and -9.  It's the wing mounting structure and
Vee shaped forward fuselage bottom that are different on the RV-6 (RV-7/9
fuselages have a flat bottom under the wing spar carry through structure)...
along with a few other subtle changes that make the RV-7 and 9 parts able to
be designed on CAD and punched out on the CNC punch machine.

Greetings,

Does anyone know if the cowlings for the -6, -7 & -9 airframes are
interchangeable?


In other words, are the firewall dimensions of the side-by-side airframes
the same (or at least pretty darn close)?


Thanks for any input,

Konrad
