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.

Forward Fuse and Baggage Area HOBBS 746.0 hrs

Just a quick post to update you on the weekend's activities. I finished up the forward fuselage and started framing the baggage area. So, its cranking along...the fuse has been fun so far. Reading ahead in the plans, there isn't too much left on the laundry list before I start disassembling it for deburr and priming. Then it will be time to put it back together for riveting.

There are a couple of modifications that I plan to do however that will add some time. I am installing a false floor in the forward fuse and also a center console. So, once I get the 'required' issues done, I will start to tackle those two items. I'll post pics in my next post.
