Across the pond..

Greetings everyone from across the pond!

I live just down the road from Europa'a US office, and am about to put my
deposit on a Europa!  I can't wait!!  I wonder if my excitement will last
though the whole project.

I'm new to the mail list, and I'm sure some of my questions have already
been discussed.  I'll search the archive before I bother everyone with
technical questions.

This will be my first time building, and I'm concerned and a little scared
of the whole process.  I have a good friend who is going to help me, and
we're both engineers (is that bad?), so I hope we won't have too much
trouble.  I'm planning on working on the kit in the evenings and on
weekends.  I don't yet have a family to get upset with me, so I should be
able to dedicate a fair amount of time towards it, maybe 20 hrs a week.  I
know it's supposed to be 500-600 hrs for construction, but when might I
realistically expect to be flying?  Also, what has been the hardest part and
the most technical part?

I won't be in a rush to complete each stage, since I will be saving money
for the next one at the same time.

Good flying, er.. building!

Jeff
