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.

Flying Around the World HOBBS 654.0 hrs

Ever since Sport Aviation magazine came out with a well written article last year detailing how to fly a single engine GA aircraft to Europe, it has been something that I have thought about in the back of my mind as a possibility in the future. An 'around the world' trip in an RV sounds pretty awesome to me...and people have done it before.

I came across this article about a Swiss gentleman, Stephan Armstrong, that is going to do it with his 12 yr old son as co-pilot of their newly finished RV8. Now, can you imagine what kind of field trip story will that be?? :) Click here to check it out! Safe travels guys...
