Subject: | RV-7A Quickbuild Kit for Sale |
I have an RV-7A QB kit for sale. Got married, bought a house, moved twice, new
job, and simply have no time to finish this remarkable aircraft (and frankly,
no money either).
The empennage is complete, including the new, larger rudder. The QB wings are complete
(minus the one skin that Van's leaves off), and still in the shipping
crate, as are the ailerons and flaps. Some minor progress has been made on the
QB fuselage (seats completed, baggage area done, etc.), but it's almost exactly
as it would come from Van's. It's ready for a new builder to install systems
(electrical, brake lines, fuel lines, etc). This is a slider canopy model. I
have all plans/drawings, all the parts from Van's (cataloged), and a builder's
log and photos that can go with it to the new owner. All you would need to complete
the airframe is a finish kit from Van's.
All of this would run about $25k from Van's plus shipping. I'm asking $20k OBO.
But wait, there's more. In my eagerness early on this project, I bought a Blue
Mountain Avionics EFIS/One system. It's still brand new in the box. The hardware
is a generation behind the one currently being offered, but has all the same
features (3D terrain and all). I'd like to get $8k for this (half the cost of
new), or I'd take $25K for the system and QB kit combined. This is about a $15k
savings over ordering a new QB kit and EFIS/One.
I live in St. Louis, MO.

to cut the bottom flap skin to match the diagonal of the fuselage skin per the
"View E-E Flaps Fairing" on DGW 80. But, it appears that the aft portion of
the flap skin was cut too short by the QB builders. Note that the front part
seems to be exactly the right length and that diagonal cut will clip just perfectly.
But on the aft skin of the flap, it is cut off about 2" too short to
continue the diagonal line. Since the fuselage side skin is curving up right
there, this will act like a giant air scoop. The flaps appear to be mounted
in the correct position, left/right as they are the required 3/16" from the ailerons.

Okay, so I looked at Van's suggestion and modified it a bit, and came up with the
fairings shown in the pictures. Pretty simple, but took some careful planning
to make sure the angles and fit were good. They look really sweet, if I do
say so myself... Totally seal up the bottom. The rivet shop heads don't bump
the bottom skin because of the angles.

FWF is so close I can taste it...

Subject: | Customer Service Report - Lightspeed Aviation |
I want to relay my experience with Lightspeed Aviation customer service.
About three years ago, when I finished my RV8, I was in the market for
headsets. My wife didn't want one that went over her head and messed up
her hair so we got a Lightspeed Mach1. Worked great and she loved it. On
our last breakfast run she dropped the Mach1 on the floor of the airplane,
when she picked it up it got caught on something and pulled the mic off the
boom. I could not find my receipt or any paperwork on the headset. So I got
Lightspeeds phone number off the web site and called their customer service.
I told her we broke it and needed it fixed, she was very nice and gave me a
hardware return number and took my info. They also sent an email with the
same info. I mailed the Mach1 off and got another email when they received
it. Expecting a call with the cost to repair it, I was surprised to get
another email saying it was in the mail back to me and a tracking number. I
week to the day I received, not a repaired headset but, a new one in a new
case at NO charge. I have nothing to do with the Lightspeed folks but I was
so impressed with there product and their customer service that I thought
somebody should know.

The short answer is;
Experimental aircraft - NO
Part 91 Aircraft - NO
Part 135 Aircraft - Factory recommendations (SB's) required, probably
YES.
