Congratulations! I almost envy you. I started on my tail kit on Sept 22,1997, nearly fifteen years ago. Like most new builders, I wasn't sure I could do this! I kept looking for anything I could do, not drill that first hole. I finally ran out of excuses and started work on N80434. (80434 was my kit number and later my N number). I gained confidence as completed parts began to add up, and by the end of the build, I believed I could do anything.
Building the Doll became like a good book I couldn't put down. I went through all the emotions they warn you about. I loved the highs, and hated the lows, but when each new part was completed, I'd stare at it and say out loud: "I can't believe I did that". After the Doll was complete and flying, I would put her away, lock the hanger, and head for the car, only to return to the hanger door, unlock it, open it, and look at the Doll and think: I can't believe I did that!
You are in for the experience of you life! Have fun.
