Anyone out there have a parts list to build the taller RV6(A) VS and Rudder? Flew in a 7 last week with the bigger tail….

I think there may be two different sets out there…counterweighted and non-counterweighted…and I would want the non-counterweighted one….

Thanks,
Ralph

The non-counterweighted one is the small tail - original RV-6. The late
6 tail has about a 2" counterweight and the 7 tail has about a 4 or 5"
counterweight. Having flown 700hrs in a 320 powered 6A and 150hrs in a
hot rod 360 6, both with small tails, I wouldn't increase tail size if
you paid me.

How different were the spin recoveries between the two?
