Don, I choose the RV-7 because my wife want a side by side.... And you know that you always have to do what wife want.... But, i'm also very happy with the RV-7. I had the chance to seat in a RV-7 last summer at Gatineau fly-in (thanks to Patrick Giligan), and I love vision and room. I hope to be able to make a ride someday.. Anyway, I will have to make my transition training.....

ao,frog: good idea to start with the VS.. I think this is I will do.. I have strated the HS but only some deburing and cleaning.. Anyway, my planning idea are to start both because I want to save time in priming. Because during winter I can't prime at home and I will have to go to the paint shop where I work. So I want to save time and be able to bring more parts as I can.
Next summer, I will make some renovation in my garage and I will do a small heated (and ventiled..) paintshop.

Bienvenue Martin,

Congrats on starting a 7. This forum is amazing, not many questions that haven't been answered.
La Sarre PQ, wow, you are definitly on the edge of civilization there! I've been up to Rouyn-Noranda a couple of times, beautiful country up there. I'm just south of Ottawa, if you ever need any help getting stuff across the border or anything else, let me know.

Salut Martin, Je te souhaite des heures de plaisir de construction. Je suis en train de terminer la construction d'un -4 mais pr?voit d?j? la construction d'un -7 ou d'un -10 pour satisfaire ma blonde

Si tu as des questions, n'h?site pas ? me contacter. Je suis un Technicien en Aviation dans les Forces canadiennes depuis +23 ans. J'ai passer la majorit? de ma carri?re sur le F-18. J'ai aussi participer ? la construction de quelques autres avions (pas de RV) dans le pass?.

Je travaille pr?sentement dans un Centre de Recrutement ? Vancouver. L'?t? prochain, je vais ?tre mut? et esp?re beaucoup pour Ottawa ou Valcartier.

A+

Steve, next summer you have to go at La Sarre airport with your -7 !! I will be a happy right seat dead weight !! My cousin, and the other half of propriotary of my Cherokee, work at the FSS of Rouyn. May be you have talk to him !! We have a beautiful region and it's very fun to fly over the Abitibi ! Many thing to see, not a lot of traffic, and long day and evening during the summer for VFR flight! I flew as much as I can with the Cherokee but can't wait to fly the RV ! We have 1 RV-8 here and each time I see it in flight, I said : "One days, I will fly in a RV me too, one day....."

Remteck, ma blonde est de Chicoutimi ! Je l'ai connue quand j'ai fait ma formation au CQFA en 1990. C'est d'ailleur notre destination pr?f?r? pour les vol voyage. 3h de vol en Cherokee pour aller voir bel maman ! 1 3/4h quand le RV-7 va ?tre terminer.... Je vais penser a toi si j'ai des questions. Merci !

Sorry to don't write more than that, I go to my garage now, I have a emppennage to finish !!

Default Bienvenue...

Bienvenue Martin.
Tu trouveras une tonne d'information sur ce Forum durant la construction de ton RV.
J'ai termin? mon 7A en mai 2009 et le forum a ?t? un aide pr?cieuse pour moi.

Je suis bas? a Gatineau. Si tu viens dans la r?gion, laisse-moi savoir et je pourrais aller te faire faire un tour (aero_tango@sympatico.ca).

Tu as fait le bon choix. Le RV7 est tres facile a voler et tu n'auras aucun probleme a faire la transition...ca vole comme un beech du Cegep, mais pas mal plus performant et nerveux.
....Je suis un ancien du CQFA moi auss (1984)
