About the Van's RV-7

The Van's RV-7 (taildragger) and RV-7A (tricycle gear) are the volume two-seat RVs — a side-by-side sport tourer that cruises ~180 kt on a 180-200 hp Lycoming, handles beautifully, and is mildly aerobatic. The RV-7 is the sweet spot of the RV line: fast enough for real cross-country, capable enough for sport aerobatics, and the most popular RV for builders and buyers. As with all RVs, build quality and documentation vary by builder — condition is everything.

Produced 2001.
