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.

Monday Delivery HOBBS 196.0 hrs

Wing kit is arriving monday (6/21) between 12-2pm. It was crated thursday morning...monday afternoon delivery, three days to ship, not too bad. I will be working from home that day and I think I have a strategy to unload it by myself whether the driver offers assistance or not. The crates arent too heavy (200-300 lbs) but they are certainly too big to carry by yourself so I will use my furniture dolly as needed. I know Bryan would probably help out but I dont want to have to ask him to take time off work for this. He was able to unload his alone without a problem (I was on my way over there but they arrived before I got there!). So, my new baby will be arriving monday...exciting!
