excellent, Lars. Thanks for taking the time to put this thread together. Since I bought my PL-2 complete and flying (it had 125 hours on it), I never had the joy of flying something I had built. As any EAAer knows, it takes skill and incredible patience to do what you are doing....and good on ya! Anyway, I had many enjoyable hours in it over the years. I took my kids upside down when they were little, so they never feared flying thinking that vertical and inverted are normal modes of flight. I finally sold it with about 1300 hours as I prepared to retire.
But the RV-7 is an improvement over the Pazmany in many ways. The speed and graceful lines are two that come to mind. Could you fill us in on some of the basics you're putting in your airplane? Engine, prop, avionics, potential paint scheme....stuff like that? I'll be following this closely...been jonesin' for an airplane so this may just fill the bill and save me money.
And please post pics of the first flight. Do you plan to make it?
