So I have been lurking the site for about five years waiting for the day when I can start my own build and I think the day has come well maybe. A little background on myself, I'm 22 I have been flying since I was 15, and am a senior at embry riddle in Daytona and will be commissioning in the army as a transportation officer in may.(not my choice I wanted aviation) so Now onto my plan, my thoughts were to get a start now so that when my service is up in 4 years I have incentive to continue building instead of convincing myself to start from scratch. I have decided on a 7 as my favorite part of flying is being able to share the experience with others and sitting next as aposed to infront of them better suites that. I was thinking of collecting tools and starting my tail kit in the very near future and then ordering my wings in January or febuary so they would arrive right as I get outa school. This leaves about 6 months to finish the tail/ learn and only 2 or 3 months for the wings before I would leave for training and my duty station, I forsee little building time after that for a few years. Am I being unrealistic for giving 2 months of solid work to complete slow build wings? Am I being unrealistic in this whole idea? Should I just wait till I'm out to start? Thanks for the input!!
