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.

RV8 Cutaway Poster HOBBS: 84.0 hrs

A gentleman named Tom Johnson from Portland, OR is producing a cutaway poster of the RV8 to sell to RV builders. I came across this on VAF. Here is a shot of it pretty much done, totally awesome! He is going to offer poster prints as well as more expensive ($200-ish) glicee numbered prints. Now that he is done with the RV8, I believe he is going to do some other models as well. Hopefully an RV7 will be in the mix, and if so, I will be ordering one of the expensive ones. That would be very cool to hang on the office wall.

  1. They are available now, click the link below or on my site under "Tom Johnson Art". I am not affiliated with Tom other than I am a customer. I bought my Dad a poster print of the -8, nice quality for the price. Tom is a nice guy, easy to work with.
