Our Vans RV-7A Preparation

[@Neil_]

The best builder I know has done it all out of a 1 and 1/2 that can best be described as functionally dilapidated. Best of luck with your build 👍

May add some time in a smaller space but beats having to drive to the airport every time we want to work on it. Plus, its an encouragement to keep the place clean and organized

Great choice! I love my 7a. It is such an awesome plane.

[@cj.grasso]

Awesome! So excited to see how it comes out!!

[@CliffandJanie]

Hopefully tearing up the skies of Long Island soon!

Shame you didn't do a garage re-build video. Everyone loves them! Looking forward to your build. I'm building an RV-7a as well in Brisbane Australia .

[@CliffandJanie]

Awesome to see another RV-7a! We actually do have a lot of footage from the garage rebuild. Maybe we’ll put a video together. The short time lapse in the video made it look easy and fast!

Hi guys...just find you. I look forward to starting from the first video and watching all until I,m all caught up. I love that you,re both instructers. Do you currently give lessons?

[@gregpdx]

Excited to watch your progress. Great first build video, and cool ways to work with the smaller space - especially the custom-sized workbenches. Looks great!

[@CliffandJanie]

Can’t wait to see how the garage changes throughout the project. Too nice having the project a 10 second walk from the house

Cliff seems a little tall for a 7......why did you go for a 7 over a 14?

[@CliffandJanie]

We went with the 7 for many reasons but the price difference was not worth the extra comfort. Have sat in many 7's and fit comfortable and have many plans for keep it roomy (no center console, thin cushions, no extension under the panel, etc. Our biggest problem to concur is going to be having it set up for the extreme height differences between us!
