Hi there.
I built a QB RV-9A. This took me 5 years and 2.000 hours work. Mainly because it was my first airplane, I had to change 3 times the place where I built and made my airplane IFR "rated".
I feel that my -9A is a good airplane, but I need a more nervous airplane for doing some acro. And I like building, so I would like to start a new project.
Initially, I was thinking on a -7, but after having read that the -4 is probably the best Van's product, together with the -3, I would like to build a -4.
This time, I will build it inside my home, in the living room (8 meters * 3,70). I was wondering how many hours should I roughly consider to complete the airplane, provided that I will dress it with minimal stuff (1 EFIS/EMS, strobe lights, 1 COMM, 1 XNDR). 2.000 will be enough?
I would like to hear some completion times from other members, in order to make an average...
Thanks.
Camillo
