TOTAL BUILDING TIME:
4,700+ hours / 78 months |
The building time above does
not count planning, research, ordering, task preparation, shop cleaning time,
and other associated building activities; which add numerous hours both inside
and outside the shop. After completing
the airplane, I estimate that another 20% additional time is spent on these
activities. Also, the log does not
consider any building time contributed by
friends and family members which add up to the total building time.
For the most part, the
building sequence follows the sections in the manual. Therefore, tasks grouped in a particular
section probably did not follow my actual building sequence, for which I kept a
log.
