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.

Andair Throttle Quadrant HOBBS 144.0 hrs

This is a throttle quadrant I came across, made by Andair, that I really like. I first became aware of Andair because of their nice fuel selector valves, which I plan to use. Turns out they do more than just fuel selector valves, they have some nice stuff on their website. Besides looking nice, I like the fact that this has flap control buttons on the throttle lever. Very handy for not only normal approach and landing but also for the surprise go around when not having to take your hand off the throttle is nice.

Last night, did some more work on the HS and elevator tips. Put on another coat of fairing micro to fill in some low spots on the HS and also glued in aluminum strips on the inside of the elevator tips for added rivet support...pics to follow.
