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.

My Center Console



I recently realized I haven't really posted any pics of my center console, so here you go. A little eye candy. These were taken before my acro contest, solo, in my plane. I ended up taking second, by one measly point, in Primary to a gentleman in a Pitts. Not exactly fair, but no one said it was supposed to be fair. :) It was a fun time, I recommend it. Although, my plane is now prohibited by the IAC because I don't have the emergency canopy release installed. Oh well, it was a great experience to get to do it once. 




After a lifetime of teaching and coaching in my semi-professional baseball and corporate career, along with my professorship at CU, I have proudly partnered with Brian Tracy and FocalPoint International to make it official. I decided to combine my passions for coaching, business and leadership by becoming a Certified Business and Leadership Coach and I couldn't be happier, I have found my calling, my why.

I partner with small to mid-sized companies that have a nagging feeling they are leaving money on the table, that they just aren't getting what they could out of their time, team or money. It is estimated that fully 86 percent of businesses today are operating below their potential for sales and profitability because of a weakness in selecting the right product or service, selling it aggressively, or accounting and managing.  

Behind me is a team of 200+ amazingly talented coaches around the world and a proven system that looks at 72 distinct areas of your business. This same system has been used successfully on over 5000 businesses in every industry around the globe, and your business could be next. 

Being an aerobatic pilot, builder of an award winning aerobatic airplane that you all know I fly all over the country and lover of all things aviation, I specialize in working with Aviation and UAS/UAV companies. Pilot to pilot; lets fly, I'll be your wingman!
