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.

Back to School! HOBBS 304.5 hrs


Just a quick note...part of the reason for the limited progress the last week was the fact that I have decided to go back to school. I know, I know, I must be crazy...building an airplane, working full time and now starting grad school! I enrolled in the Master's of Engineering program in Engineering Management at good ol' CU Boulder. My company will reimburse me for up to $30,000 in schooling so why not? Gotta increase the earning potential for the future to pay for these awesome toys!! :) So, right now, as I adapt to being a student once again, the project may be on the back burner a little bit. I expect I will become more efficient with school as the semester progresses and be back cranking on the project more.
