Hallo. I would like to have your opinion about the predictable time to finish my RV9A. Every day I ask myself how much time is left and I can't give myself a definite answer.
Empennage: finished and mounted, included fiberglass and lights.
Fuselage: finished (QB).
Wings: finished (QB), included wingtips and lights. Need to rivet lower skins.
Finish kit: electrical 90% done (apart from avionics wires); canopy and windscreen done (apart from windscreen skirt); panel cut and instruments mounted; all fuel tubes, vent lines installed, interior prime and painting and gear legs done; tires mounted and inflated; 50% antennas (COMM1, XNDR, VOR).
Firewall forward: battery, engine mount, big cables and contactors installed.
Remaining:
- hanging engine and propeller and mounting all related stuff;
- avionics wiring (I think I will go with a Steinair harness) and pitot tubes;
- all F/F related fiberglass;
- 50% antennas (COMM2, DME, ADF);
- details.
I counted approx. 300/350 hours to go. What do you think?
Thanks.
