1000 Hours and counting
Today I surpassed 1000 hours on my RV9A project. I ordered the kit in January 2006, but I didn?t start working until March. Since then I have completed the Empennage, done everything on the wings except the bottom skin, and now am well into the fuselage. 1,000 hours and a year and half later, it appears I have caught up to the point where a quick build kit would start. Maybe I?m a bit over half way done? Hard to tell. I know there isn?t that much left on the fuselage, but how long will it take to install the engine, wiring and lighting? In the end it doesn?t matter. I will keep building and spending my spare time (and money), until the job is done. I am hoping that will be somewhere around the end of 2008. But if it takes longer, oh well. It will get done sooner or later. At least I?m 1,000 hours closer today then I was in March of 2006.
