Wow! If I did the math right, that's about 37 months. I passed age 60 46 months into my build and wasn't even close to ordering the finish kit...

I have been retired the last 2 years so got to work on it pretty much full time. What a difference that makes!!
The plane is based at KBUY, test area 100 miles. Mid April is probably a little early to think I will be venturing away from the airport but hopefully I can meet up with you all another time!!
Bill
