Got it !!
I started 7 years and 3 months ago!! I have my airworthiness certificate!
the only thing he didn't like was I didn't have a 100LL decal on or near gas cap! Off to Tx for trans training next week.

Congratulations!!
The RV-4 I purchased did not have any gas decals. I had no problems until I landed at Butte, MT and wanted fuel. The FBO guy told me that he could not fuel a plane without decals indicating the type of fuel requred, company rules I guess. He said that he had some that he would sell me, but he could not find them. Finally IIRC that he let me fill my plane and that was OK because if the wrong fuel was loaded it was my fault, not his (the FBO's).
I flew the rest of the trip (ten days ID and MT back country) and never had another issue. But his request made sense so when I returned to FL I purchased some decals and attached them.
Enjoy the transition training and the joy of flying a plane you built!!

Congratulations! I genuinely admire you guys who have the patience and perseverance to build your planes. I do not possess those qualities and am grateful that a guy like you did and eventually passed his plane on to me. Way to go!

Most of the new caps are engraved with the 100LL fuel info, negating the decal requirement.

But you still need to have the "capacity" placarded at each fill location.
Of course, you can have that engraved on the cap as well. Mine are.

Congrats!
As an aside, I'd have asked that line guy for a dry erase marker...
