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.

Canopy Cover

 
Fresh out of paint, Sheryl and I flew up to Ephrata, WA to watch my niece graduate high school and show off the new plane. I ended up taking family members for rides and the trip was a lot of fun and a great learning experience for me...more on that later. We had to put the plane down in Kemmerer, WY on the return trip as weather in Denver was quite ferocious (again, more on that in a subsequent post). We grabbed a hotel in WY and put the canopy cover on to keep her dry from a passing thunderstorm. It was the first time I had used my cover...and gosh, I really do like it. This was made by Bruce's custom canopy covers...well made and as you can see, pretty darn spiffy.
