Customer Comments:
My RV 7-A broke the surly bonds of earth on Oct 11, 2008 at Middlebury State Airport of Middlebury, VT. There was no surprises, other than it literally leapt off the runway ! Everything worked perfectly and it flies as Vans advertises.

I'd like to thank my wife Bonnie for helping me buck all those rivets that I couldn't reach and continuously offering up encouragement to get it finished. The various RV pilots that were passing through and offered up their building tips and of coarse, everyone at Vans for their tech support and to Van personally for designing the best kit planes in the world.

I'm looking forward to lots of fun flying in my new RV !
