I like building my airplane,
'cause it doesn't remind me of anything.

skeleton.jpg

Feb 2008: I estimate 1800 hrs to build the airplane. I am going to try to keep a pace of 10 hrs per week. Estimated completion is 3.5 years, July of 2011. By that time, I should be at the top of the Falcon Field 7 year waiting list for a hanger. 118 people ahead of me on the list.

Feb 2009: 736 hours completed in first year. Estimate 2000 hrs at completion. There are 92 people ahead on the hanger list.

Feb 2010: 694 hours completed in second year. 1,430 hrs on the project so far. Estimate 2150 hrs at completion. There are 57 people ahead on the hanger list.
