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.

SportAir Workshop-Round 3 HOBBS 290.0 hrs

I signed up for my third and probably last SportAir workshop Sept 11-12th. I have already attended the RV Assembly and Composites class and was very satisfied with the amount of knowledge and hands on experience I recieved for the money. So, the final installment in my training will be the Electrical systems, Wiring and Avionics class...see descpription here, SportAir Workshop. This is by far my weakest subject matter, beyond a basic circuits class during my college days...I really know nothing about the electrical side of this project. The class will cover quite a few topics that will come in very handy...soldering, wiring, connectors and antenna's. After this class, EAA should send me some sort of SportAir bachelors degree! haha! Some people probably would say I am spending too much money on this training and could get by without it as most builders do...but my stance on this is I dont mind spending my money on knowledge, that is never a waste in my book. And...its fun learning new things!
