I never believed it until spent two full years sanding/filling/primering/sanding/primering/filling/ over and over (The curse of a fiberglass airplane). I was pretty much a broken man after that ordeal. So I took ten years off to build a house. After deciding to finish up the project, it took another five years to do the avionics, hydraulics, and all the other little stuff. Now I believe that 15% statistic. The actual percentage may be closer to 20%, but it's still low. You gotta' be a he77 of a man to build and airplane and stick with it. You did good bkervaski!

Congratulations Bill! I knew you and Phoenix were going to have that plane done quick. It was so nice to meet both of you a while back ago. Fly safe!

Thanks, all!
We're taking a couple days off and then back to buttoning it up and the remainder of my list plus some recommendations from Dan and Vic and then start first flight planning!
Very exciting
