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.

A Novel Approach HOBBS 689.0 hrs

This guy had a novel approach to building an RV7A...I have to assume the garage (if he has one) wasnt an option! ;) The video is interesting as well. Oh well, you gotta give him an 'A' for effort and determination.

And that, my friends, is the only thing that will get you through when building one of these babies. Not skill, not craftmanship, not intelligence, not an A&P or Engineering background, not fancy tools or even lots of money...'Bulldogged' determination as I like to say, is the key to one day seeing it fly.
