Default Finished....

Finally finished the last parts of my RV 7. The gear leg farings and wheel pants complete the plane. Now with over 60 hours on it, and no major squawks, I am finished with the build of my plane. I'm seeing over 180 TAS!!!

Here it is, been flying a few years, but now the gear legs are done, a number of other finishing touches finally done, the annual is done and it is flying beautifully.

O-320, WW151, Sam James Cowl and Plenum--otherwise generally stock.

165 KTS at 8 gph (little less fuel, but for flight plan).
145 KTS at 6.5 gph

A real joy to fly, and to build. Thanks to Stein, Jed, Doug, Paul, Jenny, Gleason, Christer, and the other Doug (K) who all helped me figure things out.

To be fair to Steinair, this is not one of their panels...they just helped me with advice during the builds and the first two years of flying.
