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.

Right Tank...S'more HOBBS 396.0 hrs

And s'more work on the right fuel tank. Wired up the capacitance plates, continuity-tested 'em...thumbs up. Riveted/ProSealed the last end rib in place. Installed the modfiied (because of my ER tanks) vent tube. And then just some misc ProSeal work getting ready to close it up with the rear baffle being the last component...same song and dance as before...plenty of repitition on the wings.

Although I still contend the fuel tanks arent that bad, I wont lie that I am looking forward to having them in my rearview mirror! :) ...then I have to do the ER tanks, but that's another day.
