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.

Fuse Bulkheads HOBBS 662.0 hrs


Just a quick status update before the weekend hits. I spent this week working through the fuselage bulkheads. Not too much to them, I'm hoping to get them prepped/matchdrilled/deburred so I can prime this weekend. Reading ahead, it looks like once I finish up these bulkheads, it will be time to start bending longerons.

There is, however, one thing that will be getting in the way of my construction progress this weekend....saturday morning I start my tailwheel training!! Woooohoo! My chariot will be a blue/white starburst 2005 Citrabria Adventure (similar to the pic above). I'll certainly be posting the details of my training along with some pics as I progress.
