Ron's RV7 Aircraft Factory


Welcome to my personal blog. This site was created as an informal description of my build progress in the construction of a Van's RV7 aircraft. A place where family/friends/builders/curiosity seekers can follow along. It is not intended to be a detailed description of every step in the building process as that would be much too time consuming. There are plenty of sites that do a great job in that arena, that is not my intention with this site. My intention is for this to be a philisophical/motivational/inspirational account of the emotional ups and downs of the life changing journey...and it will change your life. I hope this will give you an idea, through my eyes, of what its like to make this transformation. A note to other builders, I am not an expert so do not put your safety at risk by attempting anything you see on this site until you have done your own research, or send me an email so we can discuss it. Any deviations from the plans are not approved, nor endorsed by Van's Aircraft or myself. Thanks for visiting.

A Helping Hand HOBBS 190.0 hrs


It's been awhile since I've posted anything. Mostly because there hasnt been anything to report, progress has slowed to a crawl as I await my wings and finish up my fiberglass work on the tips.

I have, however, made a couple visits to Bryan's project to give him a hand with his Horizontal Stab which he finished last week. See his description of our latest adventures here, Bryan's post It really helps to actually get my hands on some parts and do some riveting while I am in this lull in building, keeps my mind on airplane construction...I've learned I very much enjoy the activity. I am certainly chomping at the bit to get my wings...I have news on that front also and will post it soon.
