Nice 7! I was wondering which side panels you had in your interior? I'm looking for some but am coming up mostly blank! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.So on Friday 26 February 2016 I have put another RV7A in the air. It is a QB that someone no longer with us started (RIP) and I have finished it in 14 months.
The panel is dual Skyview and the engine is a Superior XP-IO-360 with a Hartzell CS at the sharp end.
No snags during the maiden flight and four further flights were done. As you can see it was quite hazy and a lot of low cloud around, but at least not as hot as during the previous few days. It flies straight and fast like any RV should . The paint scheme is based on a F86 sitting in Seattle in the Museum of Flight.
This is the sixth RV project for me. I wish the three owners many years of RV adventures.
Here's a photo of N777JT fresh out of the paint shop at Boss Aircraft Refinishers in Salisbury, NC. I was trying for a 1970's muscle car look, in a color close to "Hemi Orange".
Just out of the paint shop and resting on the ramp at KFSM.
On Thursday the 10th of March N316KC took to the air on her maiden flight.
On Thursday the 10th of March N316KC took to the air on her maiden flight. All went well except for a few minor squawks. Needless to say I am beyond happy. Now its time to get the 40 hours flown off!!!

I would like to give thanks to my RV buddies who have taken me under their wing, Pun intended.
Darrin, RV10 driver who has helped me through my many struggles and was instrumental in the wiring of my 7.
Harry, rocket driver, who was the mentor that taught me what a firewall forward should look like, one that would make anyone proud.
Jeff, 7 driver who kept me motivated with his humor and the occasional ride in his immaculate 7.
Also to the three of them who set the bar for greasy landings!!
Congratulations Randy! Great feeling- let the fun begin!
you should be so proud
