Well, I ordered my wings yesterday and Van's said it would be right at 8 weeks before shipping. I am currently working on the rudder so my guess is that if I keep rolling along at this pace, I will have time to finish the empennage, the emp. fiberglass work and work up a wing jib before the last week of February rolls around. I thought about delaying the wing order as baseball season (my son's) runs from early February until the end of April and I will be busy most weekends with lots of mid week travelling too. My thought was not to even have a project during that time, but now, since I am enjoying the build so much, I figure I will need something to do when I am not watching college baseball, Right?! ![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Like I said, I am really enjoying the build project - more than I thought I would...so for all of you "lurkers" out there trying to decide if you can do this...you can! The sooner the better - get moving. Just jump in on the empennage and tools and you will find out if you like it or not...if not, sell the tools - and you are not out much money. Like I said, I was where you are now - for a while - and I wish I would have just jumped in.
Not to mention the many, many FANTASTIC people you will meet thru this adventure!
