So far, to complete section 13 in the wing "plans" and debur 5 ribs, has taken me 14 hoursincluding some much needed personal instruction, calls to "friendly neighborhood builders", one call to Avery Tools and three calls to Van's Aircraft for builder's assistance. Everyone has been a great help, including Jim Cone's posts and pictures and VANSAIRFORCE.NET (worth far, far, far more than $25.00 he graciously requests). Everyone has been very encouraging.
My learning curve is perpendicular to the bottom axis. It may level out out day ... but not any day soon.
Mid-July for kit #2 is fine by me. With luck, I finish kit #1 by then! If not, that's OK too.
