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.

All Star Game HOBBS 235.5 hrs

Probably wont be too much aircraft building being done tonight as I spend some time watching two Rockies: Ubaldo Jimenez and Troy Tulowitzki, in the all-star game. I may get some rib prep work in while I watch though.

Ubaldo is actually starting for the National League, a first for a Rockies pitcher. He also threw the first no-hitter in Rockies history earlier this year against the Atlanta Braves. That, along with his unbelievable 15-1 record, adds up to an amazing first half of the season for the hurler. Tulo, hands down my favorite Rockie, has a broken wrist, so he will be a spectator. And some might say he shouldnt be there because he is hurt, but he is hands down the best shortsop in baseball if you ask my humble opinion. As a guy who used to play the position and watches him on a daily basis, his defense and leadership qualities are off the charts and dont get enough attention by the baseball writers who dont follow him.

On a side note related to baseball, George Steinbrenner, longtime owner of the New York Yankees died today of a heart attack at the age of 80. I was never much of a fan of his, but I did admire his fiery competitiveness and baseball wont be the same without him. RIP 'Boss'...

Here are their mid-season statistics...
