Scott Solberg and his Super RV-7
March 25, 2005: I took the day off from my
project to go see another RV builder in the NE Atlanta Metro area about 125 miles away
from the Chattanooga area. Scott is an A&P currently working for Delta Airlines
and doing his thing with this RV-7 muscle plane with a 260 HP, Lycoming IO-540 on the
front of a beefed-up RV-7 airframe. Much of this airplane is customized, especially
in front of the firewall. The engine has inverted oil and a custom mount of course.
There is a smoke system for doing aerobatics with a flair! Think of this as a
Harmon Rocket with side-by-side seating instead of tandem seating.
Since Scott has his own web site, I
won't try to get into the details here, just what I came to see, the interior by Flightline Interiors.
And of course, the panel...
