SIDE-BY SIDE SEATING
Like its predecessor, the RV-6, the more modern RV-7 is configured with seats where the pilot and passenger are positioned next to each other.
AEROBATIC
Want to master the art of loops and rolls? The RV-7 is a fully aerobatic-capable airplane, stable and responsive. No problems finding that RV grin here!
CROSS-COUNTRY MACHINE
Whether it's a local hop or a long, get-there-quick cross-country flight, you can travel great distances in short time, carry stuff for both people, and enjoy the scenery!
Overview
The RV-7/7A is one of Van’s most popular current designs. Since the RV-7/7A replaced the most popular kit aircraft in history, Van’s RV-6/6A, this is probably no surprise.
About 70% of our customers prefer side by side seating and the RV-7/7A has a roomy cockpit that will easily accept two 6’ + adults with sufficient leg, head and elbow room to stay comfortable for three to four hours at a time. The seating arrangement puts both occupants on an equal footing – standard dual controls and optional dual brakes give either occupant full control with equal visibility.
Thousands of RV-7/7A kits have shipped to countries all over the world. If you prefer sitting next to your flying partner while you both enjoy one of the nicest-flying airplanes ever… Well, we know you’ll like the RV-7/7A.
Configured to stand on tricycle-gear, the RV-7A provides great forward visibility on the ground and for some, crosswind landing confidence and stability.
