HI netters. I am 24 now I bought my plane at quite an advanced stage probably about 70-80% I have had it since july last year and have put in about 600 hours. Lucky I am single and young I will work on it or do something towards working on it everyday I have just spent about 220 hours on the canopy alone to get it where I like. I am hoping to fly at easter but will probably have to wait while I save for instruments I expect mid year so 12 months was the plan at the start and I am trying to go quicker but there is always something else but I am really enjoying the building and can't wait to fly it. I have been building in a single car garage and I have to push the plane outside to work and set up a collapsable bench Next time I will have a big shed and will do somethings differently in my approach. U can build anywhere I have parts of aeroplane in my bedroom, resin in the fridge wings at my parents house. I have also had to move as the apartment I was in was sold I reckon with all the moving of the plane in and out and not having room as cost me probably 70 hours. In some areas of building I should have used peel ply and had a jig for spinning the plane to make life easy but u live and learn!! check out www.saaa.com.au go to chapters go to queensland and click on the map check out chapter 15 there is some photo's of the plane. The last one is a month ago and the plane is much smoother now cheers
