Chad and Bekah's RV-7: Tip Up v.s. Slider Canopy
http://www.704ch.com/2009/01/tip-up-vs-slider-canopy.html
Chad and Bekah's RV-7. This site shows the years of construction, first flights, and the continued adventures of Chad and Bekah in our RV-7. Sunday, January 4, 2009. Tip Up v.s. Slider Canopy. This decision is a tough one that all builders must make. Luckily, like the landing gear configuration, I don't have to make this decision until I order the fuselage. I am currently leaning towards: Tip Up! Ease of access to Panel. Some think less sexy look. All in All, for now, Tip Up it is. Regards, Jason C.

http://ukfigs.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
This blog contains my comments and my observations during the construction, maintenance, and flying the Van's RV-7. Flying the test phase. Thursday, July 30, 2009. Only issue I had was I still have high CHT's. In particular on #1 cylinder on initial climb-out , cruise CHT's. Were all fine and ranged from 360 to 375 with EGT. Oil consumption on the ECI. 0-360 is still good and I am about to add the first qt after about 20 hours after the oil change, the motor isalso. Running very smooth with the Landoll.

UKFigs RV-7 Blog: June 2009
http://ukfigs.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
This blog contains my comments and my observations during the construction, maintenance, and flying the Van's RV-7. Flying the test phase. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. The worst damaged place was on both inboard sections and I concluded that this was exacerbated by the exhaust resonance vibrating the retaining wires. To correct this I bent the wires and locked them in place with a hinge lug screwed into the firewall flange, so far so good, we will see at the next oil change. Labels: Flying the RV-7.

Flying season is here so I am glad this is done. Managed to get all the mods I had in mind done this winter except connecting the trim position inputs to the Dynon so I will live with the LED indicators for a little longer. Thats about it for now.
