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.

RV7A Aerobatic Video HOBBS 477.5 hrs

Brought to you by the VAF forums, here is a nice video showing some RV7A Aerobatics. If you have ever wondered what the aerobatic capabilities of an RV7A are, this video will give you a pretty good idea. This guy was wringing it out pretty good...were those snap rolls he was doing?

I certainly plan to do aerobatics in my plane, but I'm not sold on doing snap rolls. I've heard it creates a tremendous amount of force on the empennage. Renting a Pitts might be the solution for me if I have a hankering to do some snap rolls. Of course, what do I know...still so much to learn. :) But thats all part of the fun.
