The past few weeks have been so productive on our Vans RV-7A build! Since our last video we have been able to complete a few different components on the wing. You’ll see in this video the installation of the conduit for all of our wiring, our first encounter with pro seal, assembling and riveting our stall Warner, prepping the pitot tube for installation, as well as some other miscellaneous items on the wings.

Whoa! I was not mentally prepared for the borescope shot through the conduit, lol. 🤯 Great video.

@SteinAir Месяц назад

Wow, what a fabulous intro!! Great progress so far. 👍

@CliffandJanie Месяц назад

Thanks Stein! Can't wait to do the rest of the panel with you guys. Even better videos to come

So nice to see you both building! I have the same RV7A and installed a complete Garmin G3X IFR panel last year. Quite a learning curve but so rewarding. Also enjoyed the SNJ flying too. Looking forward to your videos.

@CliffandJanie Год назад

Thank you! We are looking forward to the learning curve of the G3X panel. A good excuse to do a bunch of flying!

So cool to see it all coming together, I have a few hours in an RV-8A, you’re gonna love the “Total performance"

Impressive attention to detail. For polishing aluminum, if you've never heard of Zephyr Pro 40, you'll be amazed.

As cool and beautiful a polished airplane is, we will definitely be painting this for ease of maintenance and keeping clean! Will definitely check out the project though

Good job, guys! Great video. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, enjoyable videos, please keep them up - I'm a little behind you working on my RV-8A QB wings and being a first time builder it's great to see what others have done. How did you drill the holes for the conduit in the section where the lower skin is already attached. I guess you were able to get a drill in through the access hatches but what about where there are extra ribs in the wing walk area?

@CliffandJanie Год назад

Amazing how many ways everyone does these airplanes. Each one has its own touch! We bought extenders and a step drill with a hex shank for the area with the skin already on. Marked the spot with a template, drilled a pilot hole, used the step drill, and then redid it for each rib for the first 5. Make sure the step drill is 3/4 so you can go all the way through! The other ribs we were able to do through the access panels with plenty of room.

On my RV7a, with the Garmin AOA, I found that while I have both visual and audio for the approach-to-stall, it is the (progressive) audio that is more important (than the green-yellow-red visual) when landing or taking off since I'm focused on the outside environment. PS - great build videos and that was a T-6 on the SNJ flyout?

@CliffandJanie 7 месяцев назад

It's cool that there are RV's flying around with no stall warner all the way up to heated pitot / AOA indicators. Love these planes! Yes! The back seat views and formation plane!

Just found your channel, interesting you install a manual stall warning. Are you sure you gonna hear much of it with noise canceling headphones?

@CliffandJanie Год назад

Stall warners are an old school system with these buzzers installed on a lot of aircraft. No problems hearing it with noise cancelling. In fact I think its better in the background than through the headset audio

@experimental_av Год назад

@@CliffandJanie ah right, yours is an electric buzzer, remember flying a Cessna with active headsets and it was very dim but I think they use some sort of pneumatic whistle. Anyway cool videos, just subscribed.
