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.

Amazing Lake Powell


As you know, we flew out to Vegas last month via Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon. I had the GoPro mounted under the wing...a new location just for this trip. It captured some great footage of our roughly 25 minute flight over Lake Powell. Unfortunately, the mount location contributed a lot of shake to the camera so the video is not what it could be. Still pretty amazing, but the shaking takes away from it. 

Here are some screenshots from that video to give you an idea what its like to fly over Lake Powell. When we finally departed the area for the Grand Canyon, I needed to grab a napkin to wipe the drool off my face...amazingly, these pics really don't do it justice. I'm not sure I need to say more...feast your eyes (definitely click to enlarge) on this scenery and daydream about what it will be like to fly your plane here!
