My only comment and suggestion would be to join the Europa club ASAP, they are a very friendly and helpful lot, me included. You will always find someone who has experience with what ever you are having trouble with and will help you or point you in the right direction. Get a good inspector on side preferably with Europa experience. If there is still quite a lot of glass work to do, have a practice by making the wheel chocks as per the manual, don't worry if you get it wrong you can in most cases re do it and, enjoy the build process. I can say its a very special feeling to complete and fly your own aircraft. As to how long it will take to complete, that will depend on you, I bought my kit in a part finished state and pretty well went back to start again with a new cockpit module. Mine took just over 7 years to complete including 4 years out with various Cancers and the help of two rather special friends who came on board to help when things looked rather bleak. Good luck.

Gitr organized and gitr done! Yes, driving back from Europa/Florida after having placed the order for my kit I had the same Holy $#!^, what have I done? moment. Then, several months later driving a rental truck full of Europa kit #242 I had exactly the same "HS,WHID? moment. Now, you just need to get into the shop every day and do something on the kit. Accomplish something every day. Take pictures of your work every day and make sure you can do an entry into your build diary every day. Then, one day, it will come back from the paint shop ready to fly and youll get to say Holy $#!^, Ive actually done it! And you get to start enjoying the real fruits of your labor; flying with all those other great Europa folks all over the UK and continent.
