How long does it typically take to build Series V Vixen wings (which I believe are identical to all Series V Kitfox wings), assuming access to the proper alignment jigs? I know that there is a lot of variability between builders, but I just want to get a sense of about how many hours to expect.

I'm building my series 5 wings right now. It's going much quicker than I expected

That's good to hear, but I was hoping that someone who has finished building wings would have an idea of the number of hours.

Sorry, I realize that I left you a lame response. I had a phone conversation with Rich Kimble a while back and he told me it would take about 200 hours to frame up a pair of wings. Rich builds a lot of wings so I trust his number.

I would put the number more at 300+ hours if all is included as well as covering.
