Rick obviously has spent countless hours thinking this build through. Take a really close look at the fit and finish of this build and it is obvious there is a tremendous amount of pride here. This is just the type of person you want to buy from. You will probably make a friend for life and that's worth more than the RV . Fly back to visit him now and then because I'm sure he will miss this when she is gone. Just "plane" wow.
Rick, I have a RV7A kit I am looking to sell. The work that has been done was from a gentleman that worked in the sheet metal shop at the NAVAL AIR STATION here in Corpus Christi. The empennage and wings are built. The workmanship is correct. The fuselge was cleco’d together at one point ,but taken apart for storage as life got in the way. The slider canopy was hi choice. The finishing kit still needs to purchased but all of the hardware for the empennage/wings/fuselage kits are complete. I’m a of your RV videos and thought you may know someone interested.
nice plane, I am considering a 7A for a 1300 ft gravel strip on my land....X plane sim 11 doesn't have a 7A I can practice with but the mediocre RV 12 freeware lands pretty easy on 1300.ft.Take off is close..? Is the 8A a better rig for STOL ??? What do you think about the idea??
nice plane..could a 7A take off in 900 ft? I have been using the RV12 in X plane and that gets airborne in 900 about and lands in 800 easily. The 7A would be just right for me...
I suppose anything is possible, but it would be an engineering challenge to tie it into the existing components that’s for sure. If you’ve never flown with the stick in the center I promise you will love it :-).
How accurate is the OAT? That location in NACA vent gets engine heat...... What is the EMPTY weight with all that beautiful paint and interior? Cheers.
