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.

Left Wing Hanging HOBBS 262.0 hrs

I had a milestone of sorts, I finished riveting the left wing and got it partially mounted in the wing stand. I mounted it, leveled the ends but I still need to add a support in the middle to take out the sag and also remove any twist. I'll finish that up soon, in the meantime I finished all the riveting on the right wing. It sure goes fast when you've already done one. Doing both wings at the same time makes things more efficient, thats for sure.

Anyway, this will be my last work session before OSH departure. Tomorrow night I pack for the trip, leaving early wed morning.
