This website is dedicated to the day-to-day construction of an RV-7A kit plane.
The RV-7, manufactured by Vans Aircraft, is a side-by-side two seat airplane that cruises at 200+ mph and is capable of +6/-3 g maneuvers.
Vans supplies all of the basic sheet metal parts in a pre-cut and pre-bent state, however all of the finer details of fabrication and assembly are transferred over to the builder.
These photos show the approximate state of my project.
This before-and-after picture provides a great sense of the project’s scope. These pictures were pulled from the Vans website.
