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.

Mounting the Spinner HOBBS 2328.0 hrs

 
Just a quick tidbit of information I wanted to share with you. While I was installing my Whirlwind spinner and backplate, I noticed something that wasn't readily obvious. The spinner backplate is marked for blade 1 and 2, notice the white lettering. You can install it either way, but its important to install it the way it was balanced...and it just fits a little better when you do it the way it was intended. You will see the blade number stamped on each blade.


Same deal with the spinner...

 
...and the blade cover. Just something to be aware of when installing your prop.
