Building
Eric,
If you are involved in EAA you should come out to out Chapter Meetings in Morris. We have several RV's on the field and several more being built, great resource of info. Maybe a little far to travel from Villa Park but if you are looking for a quick ride in a 7 I'm always willing to take up a perspective builder. Give me a call sometime.

2 hours south
If you are interested in travelling a bit, there are several projects going on about 2 hours south of you. I am finishing a -7 slider right now, Chad Jensen is done with his fuse, and Terry Wendling is working on finishing his canopy now. We are all located in Bloomington/Normal, which is about 2 - 2.5 hours from downtown. There are several other projects in the vicinity of the town, as well...

Most of the time someone is at the airport flying around.

Eric,
I took Grov-Air's RV builders class last weekend. (17-18 Nov) Troy does a great job and I really learned a lot. It might help to review the first few chapters in the preview plans as a primer...

RV7a almost done in Monroe, Wis. 2 hrs north
I am in Monroe, Wi and building an RV7a. It's almost done and ready to be inspected. You are welcome to come up and take a look. Airport is EFT. We are about 1 hour NW of Rockford. I own my own company so I am able to leave during the week too.
