Build time

[Flybyjim]

With the quick build wings what is the average build time to first flight?

I have the quick build wings and the pre fab part kit. I have been working on the plane for about a year. It should be ready to cover in the fall and then probably about 2 years to go roughly. I didnt work on it from Nov. to May due to moving and weather. I really only get one good day a week on it and maybe and hour here or there during the week. if you could work on it 20 hours a week I think you could get it done in a year if you were handy or 18 months if you were new at it.

I picked my kit ( including wing pre-build and pre-fab option), up at the factory Sept 10th 2012. As I send this I am installing the windshield and will then do weight and balance and request an inspection. I average 8 hr
per day, 6 days a week. This includes a 912iS firewall forward kit.

Neville , that's the way it has to be done or the plane will never be completed . I pretty much finished mine the same way .
oak harbor was the first place I flew to once I completed my 40 hrs . I spent three years up there in a vp outfit and learned to fly at the oak harbor airport

The infamous question:

First one about 2 years, and 2000 hours. I was single.

Number 2 going on ten years with a lot to do. Family and kids.
