Subject: RV7-List: RV6(A) with manual flaps

I am investigating the degree of difficulty installing manual flaps on 
an RV-7.

Van's Tech Support (Tom Green) advised that I should locate a -6(A) with 
manual flaps to assess the degree of difficulty using -6 manual flap 
components instead of the -7 kit supplied electric flap kit.

With all due respect, I am NOT interested in starting a debate about the 
relative merits of electric vs. manual flaps.  I already understand that 
there are passionate views on both sides.  

If you are or know of a -6(A) builder with manual flaps in the 
Portland/Vancouver area, I would appreciate a response.  I am in the 
last stages of wing building and the fuselage is next.

Thank you,

Larry Tompkins
