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.

Johnson Creek Video HOBBS 499.0 hrs

I saw this video on Doug Reeves' VAF homepage this morning. It was submitted by Scott Schmidt, who has an exquisite RV10 and seems to be a very active aviator. He always seems to have great travel pics and writeups from places he goes with his -10. The video is a little long, but has some good flying footage and scenery. Enjoy.

I have never been to Johnson Creek, Idaho but have seen enough pics and video footage that I feel like I have. It looks like 'disneyland' to a guy like me! Mountains, camping, campfires, airplanes, pilots, grass strip, not accessible by road...whats not to love?

I cant wait to take the -7 there when she's done. I think I will have plenty of friends that want to accompany me, both Bryan Raley and Sean Blair have expressed their desire to also visit Johnson Creek. One day...until then, KPR! :)
