Hi all,
Just thought I'd start a thread on my RV-7 build, serial number #72794. It will be my first homebuilt aircraft.
I bought the empennage kit from another gentlemen who was not able to get started approximately 4 years ago. I had aspirations of starting the build then, but I soon bought a house and most of my time was going towards that.
Fast forward to now, and with the encouragement and mentorship of several EAA Chapter 461 members (2 of whom are also building RV-7s), I began my build with the vertical stabilizer. Approximately 25 hours later, a few drilled out rivets and a fun learning curve, I'm very happy with the end product!
