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.
