Welcome to my experimental aircraft Web site. I'm a first time builder from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. I'm building a Van's RV-7A powered by an Aerosport Power O-360 fired by dual E-Magair P-mags. On the panel are dual Advanced Flight Systems displays, one dedicated EFIS and one EFIS/EM. Also on the panel is a Garmin 496 GPS, a Garmin GTX-330 mode S transponder and a Garmin SL-40 Comm as well as a Trutack Digiflight 2 autopilot. It's an all electric airplane with B and C Specialty components and a Bob Nuckolls electrical system architecture, no vacuum and no steam gages. On the nose is a MT Propeller three bladed natural composite constant speed propeller.
