Van's RV-7 Performance Review | The Ultimate Cross Country & Aerobatic Homebuilt Airplane

[@shaunbrassell68]

Those are mad speeds, really opens up destinations!

[@ThomasMarrow]

Worked that I can get from anywhere to anywhere in SA within 4 hours and land at most airstrips! She's a time machine!!

[@737787]

Nice one. Love my RV7. Very similar numbers.

[@ThomasMarrow]

They truly are incredible aircraft. Are you based in South Africa Rob?

[@ruarkbothma2347]

Loved the KFA videos. Hope to see you doing some exploring again soon. Keep up the great content!

[@ThomasMarrow]

They’ll be coming soon!

[@ivorevans1795]

Well equipped Performer. You must be stoked!! Enjoy

[@ThomasMarrow]

I love her!!

[@HartsfieldSpotting]

Would love to own one of these! Great video!

[@ThomasMarrow]

Thank you!!

[@aviator_nic2043]

Heard you on special rules at about 7:30 this morning

[@ThomasMarrow]

That was me! What were you flying?

[@aviator_nic2043]

C172, ZS-STV grand central to potchefstroom

[@ThomasMarrow]

Nice! I remember the call sign ✈️

[@DuaneMouton]

Super nice aircraft! Spotted it on the apron at Rand recently. I thought the voice flying an RV in SRA sounded familiar 😅 Congrats on the new plane! 💪

[@ThomasMarrow]

Thanks Duane! You’ll definitely be here more of me in SR west. What are you flying?

[@DuaneMouton]

@ThomasMarrow look forward to seeing more of it 😎 I fly a super cub. Operate the banner tow aircraft in joburg. Callsign is SkyAd 4

[@ThomasMarrow]

@@DuaneMouton always wondered who had that job! Very cool! We should link up sometime

[@jking755]

How is the availability of avgas 100LL in SA?

[@ThomasMarrow]

Very good! Most established airfields have avgas available

[@b4flight428]

Great video... Quite some debate on flying lean of peak rather than rich of peak...

[@ThomasMarrow]

There is indeed! In my opinion, for a longer flight that has concerns about range then lean of peak is a good option to have available. For shorter flights, having the extra power available is always worth the little extra burn in my opinion

[@aeromatt]

Do you ever get tired of the erroneous aural warnings

[@ThomasMarrow]

Yes, I do haha! There is apparently a way to turn it off
