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.

12V Chargers HOBBS 2137.0 hrs


I added two 12V charging outlets. One is the standard "cigarette lighter" type and the other is a special USB dock for Apple and Samsung products. For whatever reason, they are different somehow? Although I think the USB dock looks nice, you could save some money by just getting an adapter that fits directly into the cigarette lighter dock and skip it. I have one extra cigarette lighter version on my workbench...but am thinking this should be plenty sufficient for onboard charging so I'll probably not install it.
