Bob, congrats...

You can now modify your "Interests" in your VAF profile from "hopefully building" to "completed."

Default Congrats and stall speed dead on

Congrats Bob! Sounds like your stall speed is dead on (51 MPH solo and 58 MPH gross) 58 MPH =~ 50 Kts.

Bob - I'm a first time user who is very interested in building an RV-7. I would be interested to know how many build hours you have in your project and whether you started with a quick build kit or standard kit. Thx.

Bob, Congratulations!

For those who haven't seen it, Bob is featured in a video shot just a few months ago where you can see that his plane was still just bits and pieces. Bob is at our home airport, so a lot of people at Dynon have been excited to follow his progress.

Great job Bob! I'm hoping someday soon we can do some RV-7 pattern flying after I finish up my build.
