--> RV7-List message posted by: "Daniel Storer" <dstorer@OKWiFi.com>
Frank,
There is a good chance the swap out might work. If I do this I'll be
shipping parts back to Van's anyway, and I rather help out a fellow builder.
I'll be in Oshkosh next week speak to as many RV'ers as I can along with
pics of all the good stuff. I plan to stop by Van's booth and ask for their
input.
Regards

Hey Dan,
It is certainly doable...I have a friend building a 7a form a 7...I.e
going the other way to you.
Now I wonder if I could set you guys and maybe you could help each other
out to swap the parts if you have all your on hand?
Let me know if your interested.

Big question, but first the short story. I live on a grass field in
Oklahoma, and at one time we had three RV's on the field plus several
factory planes. So after much research and time making promises to my
wife, I decided to build an RV 7A. I've got the tail done and the wing
almost there (after a three month absence working honey do list). I
also have the fuselage kit on the shelf ready to start this fall.
So my big question is what if I wanted to change to a "7" tail
dragger...
what would it take? Just looking at the two aircraft on Van's web site
it looks like the change is in the fuselage kit, so I would have to send
my engine mount and landing gear back and get the tail wheel, is this
correct.
I'm sure I'm not the first to change their mind. One might wonder what
drive me to a big change in plans. Believe it or not it was safety.
Grass fields and tail wheels go together, plus don't forget the sexy
look of a day gone by.
Can anyone tell me if they've ever done the conversion at this point of
the game?
Thanks,
Dan S.
