Yes, maybe, but then again I have a "secret weapon" - a total of 15 weeks of
saved
up holiday & overtime that I can take out between now and then (& and no wife
nor kids). Good luck with your first flight - if you lived here it wouldn't
be happening today - we have 13 knot winds at the moment (ESSB) with gusts up
to 24 knots expected throughout the day (but the sky is blue!).

do you ????

PS. 3 1/2 years on and first flight is expected 4th or 5th Sept . weather
and availability of pilot permitting , 15 hour shake down though, since it
is first of type with 3300 Jabiru and MT Constant Speed Prop.

I'm sorry but I beat you by more than a nose on that one. My kit arrived 5
May 1999, my "Day 1", i.e. actually started chapter 2 (bonded rudder and
jigs to my workbench) was 1 May 2000. It wasn't until end of Sept. '99 that
I found a place to build.
Since then I've managed 245 hours including 114 hours during August alone
(this included one weekend with no work at all because I was out of
Stockholm). I hope to keep up this pace and be in the air end of (northern
hemisphere) summer 2001.

Nic here.
Tony, Howzabout longest time from delivery to first hour of work?
I've had a quick build XS since March and haven't touched it yet.
I can only hope my brother reads this and shows some ---- interest.
