N803DK - #92013 - Done!
It's official, N803DK is an airplane! Just under 2.5 years thanks to my understanding wife, VAF and most recently the Ramona, CA contingent of RV'ers.

Congrats!
Amazing what a quick build fuselage will do to speed up the build! Great workmanship on the tail and wings by you, and I'm sure it will fly beautifully. Hopefully we can finish up our respective Phase 1's and venture forth to new places.

I figure the QB fuse saved me 6 months. Also the Steinair Panel probably saved another 6 months although the panel did take 6 months of planning and 6 months of lead time to be delivered, so I had that going on in the background. Both the pre built fuse and pre built panel took about a year to finish, despite their "pre built" status.
All time low of the project was deburring wing skins. The two things I'd never wish to do again are the cowl and filtered air box.
