Building an Experimental Airplane, The Vans RV-7A | EP1.2 Horizontal Stabilizer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Construction continues on the Van's RV-7A experimental aircraft. In this episode we unbox the kit, and start construction of the horizontal stabilizer. All of the usual aluminum work: cutting, sanding, grinding, drilling, bending, and more.
We get through a good portion of the structure of the stabilizer, including setting the first rivets.

Two time RV builder and A&P here... When you rivet the bearings, it's best to have them clecoed down to the spar to make sure the flanges are absolutely parallel. Also, the music is WAY too loud compared to the dialog. Have fun!
Been looking at the 7a foe a while now. Seriously considering starting one of these. Glad I found your channel. I will be watching as you progress through this build.
So far, an incredible project. Thanks for following along!
Thank you for producing these videos. I’m sure that for someone working on the same build, they are inspiring but I wanted to see an aluminum wing go together in detail. In 1.1, when you were dimpling the practice parts, I wanted to see what you were doing, how, and why. The “watch a build in 30 minutes” high speed clip is not what I needed.
Now the wooden blocks and the 6 degree bend for the tail parts - I don’t know what’s happening.
As I said, I’m sure this is perfect for some. I’m sure if I had the kit I’d understand it all.
As it is, I need something different so I’ll move on with my best wishes for you.
Keep it up man. It's a joy to see the process and watch the progress.
Thanks! Will do!
Love your videos! I started my 7-A build yesterday. These videos are a tremendous value and are saving me tons of time where I would be debating with myself about what exactly the instructions were telling me to do??? I (selfishly) hope you pick up the pace - as I really want you to stay ahead of me.
I love this! I, too, hope to pick up the pace. Unfortunately my wings are taking a bit. Should be in any day now and the plane factory will be back up and running.
Already following this series! Love the content so far.
That's great! Thank you for supporting my channel!!
