Hello Everyone
I would like to get some general estimates on how long others have taken (in work hours) to complete the last stages of their project. I need to make a "work schedule" to figure out my schedule to have my RV7A project ready for taxi testing (will planning to painting, leg fairings/wheel pants, etc done after first flight) by July of 2014, and have the following major sections to finish working on:
1) set up and drill up aileron hinges to wing (should be 3-4 hrs I assume at max)
2) Install Wing Tips (~5 hr each max)
3) assemble empennage to fuselage (??)
4) Install wings /set angle and drill up rear spar bolt (??)
5) Finish up "little cowling" items such as side pin attachment connections/attach point on cowl, final trimming so cowling can be taken off with a 3 blade prop on the plane, etc (~10 hrs)
6) rigging of control surfaces (?)
Appreciate any info you all have to share and I will factor it in as I work out my work schedule for the next 6 months!
Thanks,
Paul
