Any 7's in the DC area? I'm an aerial hitchhiker!

So I've been poring over the forums, Van's website, and the deepest darkest corners of the interwebs for a few years now, and I'm just about 100% settled on an RV-7. (I don't have the time to build,...

Scott,

Care to share that spreadsheet? I'm planning a panel and avionics equipment, and would appreciate seeing how you put it together.

Thanks!

Galin,

Thanks for sharing - I'm glad to know it won't be too difficult to get around. I definitely don't want to discover I'm suddenly not allowed to depart because my plane "isn't legal" or...

I learned that lesson the hard way a few years back... Headed on a 3-hr cross-country with my wife in an SR20, I figured I'd let the AP do the work. The S-TEC 55X had a VS climb mode, so I set my...

Walt,

Assuming there are no AP servos, or a different type, is that generally a labor-intensive replacement?

Todd,

I'd considered the electrical system, since obviously it'll be the foundation of everything else, but I've got no idea what to look for. Anything you recommend as criteria for judging a...

Thanks, Jim! I think all the radios I'm considering will work on 12.5, but I hadn't checked out the transponder frequencies yet... I'll take a look!

Todd,

Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. I'd originally planned on the G3X, but ****, are those Touch panels nice! I'll be checking them out at Oshkosh this year and trying to convince...

Scroll,

Thanks for sharing! That's just about exactly the capability I'm looking for, in the finished product. (A beautiful plane you've got there, by the way!)

Now, to find one for sale...

:D

Carl,

Thanks for the info! I'm a Garmin guy, myself, having flown a few hundred hours with G1000 and G500, and I'm simply amazed by the G3X Touch videos I've been watching lately. No issues with...

AL,

Flying in Thailand is much the same - "Clouds? What clouds? We're VFR, therefore the law prevents any clouds from appearing out here."

Was your plane in Honduras an experimental? I'm curious...

Charlie,

Should I assume all oplims are written that way? I've never actually seen one before, and the EAA site seemed to imply that some are phrased differently.

Since I obviously wouldn't be the...

Todd,

Thanks much! My plan is (minimum) G3X Touch with GTN-650 and autopilot panel. If money and space allow, I'd add more, but I'm looking at speccing out "minimal", "would be good to have", and...

Thanks, Mike! I've been lurking for a while, but now that I'm within 12 months of actually having an RV (by my best estimate of savings and coming back to the US of A) I figured I'd post!

Question How to turn a VFR RV into an IFR RV?

All,

My apologies if this has been hashed out already; a few hours of googling and forum-browsing haven't yielded any useful info. I'm sure there will be lots of "I can't believe you didn't see...
