I should pass the 1,000 hour of logged work time on my RV-8A QB this next week. I'm guessing I have between 150 to 200 hours more before it's ready for a DAR visit. If it takes me 150 hours more, I hope to have a completed airplane by Labor Day.
This 1,000 hour milestone has taken 46 calendar months to reach. There's been about 2 months each winter when it's just been too cold to do any work so I've about 38 buildable months to date.
Since last fall my project finally started looking like an airplane with some parts off rather than a pile of parts thinking about being an airplane.
For all those RV-8A QB builders out there - how much logged build time did you have at the time of your DAR inspection?
