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.

Fuselage Delivery Date HOBBS 463.5 hrs

Just a quick entry to let you know I recieved my confirmation letter from Van's for the fuse. I have to sign it to acknowledge the accuracy of the order, pay the balance and then wait for delivery. I ordered it Jan. 18th and the delivery date/week quoted by Van's of Mar. 14th is pretty much right on target for their stated 8 week lead time. Of course, actual delivery times can and usually do vary slightly. I am now resigned to the fact that the wings will not be done before it arrives, but thats ok...it'll be waiting for me when I finish them up.
