Way cool, and I mean way cool, no more vx climb to 6000 for cool air, lol. Neat little design. I knew Dick V. He showed me his 50% build of his first rv6. Congrats....
About 1960 when they figured out that having the CG in front of the mains provided more stability, easier loading, and better visibility while taxing. I don’t want to get into the tail wheel vs Bose wheel argument, but anyone that wants a comfortable plane has a Bose wheel. How many airliners, business jets, turboprops, or even general aviation planes that are single engine have tailwheels? None.
