Hi Bill

I think it depend on the type of person as well, but on average i would geuss, around 100 hours for the building alone. The basic structure on the wing took us about 10 hours, and the skinning another 10 hours. The fuselage structure take about another 10 hours, and the skinning about 15 hours. Then we can allow for the stab about 15 hours in total. That gives me 60 hours, and say we allow 40 hours extra for the finishing. Thats just a rough estimate.

We are working on the composite fuselage. But the shipping cost will be higher due to the extra size.

Thanks
