Welcome to my aircraft web site I am using to document the construction of a Van's RV-7. I am building a slow build kit which I started working on in October 2003.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
JEFF DUNHAM AT AIRVENTURE 2008 : While at Airventure, Tami and I went to see Jeff Dunham at Theater in the woods on Wednesday night. Apparently Achmed, The Dead Terrorist has a medical condition. We didn't get very close (didn't even get a chair after getting there 3 hours early), but the video didn't turn out too bad. I was laughing so hard most of the time, that I had a hard time holding the camcorder steady. I should have took my tripod with me instead of the monopod. Anyway, I posted this short clip on my Apple MOBILE ME podcast web page......

Custom Brake Pedals (CNC Project): I have had very little time to work on the plane due to my day job. However, I did find some time to draw up new brake pedals on CAD and cut them out with my new benchtop CNC mill.

Fuel Cap Engraving: A while back, Kevin Faris and I did a little bartering. I traded him two standard Van's, non-locking fuel caps in exchange for a Tru-Trak autopilot servo bracket. I told him that I would engrave his fuel caps for him using my CNC mill. They turned out really well.
