Major problem on my 9A project
So I'm working along today, made the final holes on the canopy and working on the canopy skirts. Lots of cardboard boxes in the cabinets with expensive avionics waiting their turn next, engine in a crate 20 feet away, life is looking pretty good for a change.
Wife calls. She's pregnant.
Life just took a left turn through the bar ditch, heading for the fence. Gonna be different!
Airplane schedule and budget just took a big hit, but it's going to be worth it!

Built an off-plan RV9A with too much fuel and too much HP. Should drop dead any minute now.

Congrats.
My wife says "he obviously didn't spend enough time on the plane."

Many congratulations, Greg (and wife)!!!!
It's a net positive. Nobody would have a 2nd if it wasn't.
And, you're kid will think it's strange when a friend DOESN'T have a plane in the garage. Mine felt that way growing up.

Congrat's. Our little guy is a joy...
But... You'd better get moving on that -9 project. Once a kid arrives, your build routine is gonna go out the window...

Ain't that the truth. My -9A went on hiatus for 4 years after the twins arrived. The good news is that you have the expensive stuff purchased already.
As said above, build it, fly it, start a -10.
