p { margin: 0; }p { margin: 0; }p { margin: 0; }Has anyone out there got or know of and old style Vertical stab and rudder for an RV-6, kit or any stage of completion, that they want to part with. I think a -4 would also work. A friend of mine is building a -6and does not want to use the new larger RV-8 style vertical tail.

Either reply here or call Bob Gorman directly at 408-828-6727

You might want to advise your buddy that Vansmade a larger tail for a reason: especially if its a tail dragger or he puts in an engine larger than the 160 hp.

Even with the Rv-7 larger tail, I can't add full power until the tail is off the ground...

First they increased the height of the stab and made a larger counterbalanced rudder, then they came out with the 7 with an even taller stab (I think) and quickly went to the riveted trailing edge rudder for better spin recovery.

What I've experienced with my 6A and small rudder is a little hunting in turbulence and not enough authority for serious slips. Less wetted area makes for a faster airplane, if that's what you want. Marty is probably right about not using full power on the takeoff roll, but it'll accelerate and break ground with very little power and then, with more airspeed and control authority, you can bring in the rest of the power. Even an O-320 fixed pitch bird climbs just fine, not 3000fpm mind you but just fine.

Pax,

Ed

I have the original Tail Section that I built several years ago.  How critical is this new tail mod for the tail wheel version?  Is this info on the web sight or can it be found here on the forum?

I have been flying my IO 360 RV-6 for 12 years and numerous RV 6s before that. I have never had a problem with not enough rudder on take off or otherwise. I do agressive slips, so aggressive that the Internnational Aerobatic Club calls them knife edge maneuvers.

If you have the small rudder, I wouldn't worry about it.
