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.

Acro Video HOBBS 2170.5 hrs

 
 
Just a quick update before the weekend starts. In the shop, I am finishing up my throttle and mixture control cables--prop control up next. It took some doing to make this work with my setup, but I like the way it came out. 
 
This is our airshow weekend at KBJC, three day/night airshows starting with the night airshow tonight. I will be bouncing around to several hangar parties socializing throughout the weekend. It should be a hoot! Although, obviously no airplane work this weekend. I expect to be having several "show and tell" sessions during the event as quite a few people have enquired about stopping by to see the project. I may have to dress her up a little. ;)
 
Lastly, I saw this video by Jon Thocker and his daughter Haley on VAF this morning. Its cool to get a feel for what you can do with one of these planes with some basic aerobatics. This is a great video to start your day. Its entertaining on several levels for me. Enjoy. Have a great weekend.
