I have finished the tail, finishing the wings now, have ordered the fuselage as
a quick build, ordered the engine, pick out the panel.... and now I am wondering
now much more work there is to go, ie finishing kit, instruments... the
question is, is the time lelf, like 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/10 of the work already done,
what?? I am going crazy, work during the day and on the plane every night,
and just when I see the end coming, some sag creeps in and a pile of hours more
sneak add up, sure it's fun, and the hours spent is the part of the 'trip',
but I need to know??, please help me, what's your opinion. Bill

Most of the 9s that I have heard about take between 1200 and 1400 hours to
complete. The engine can eat up as much as 400 hours by itself.
YMMV

Haven't you ever heard the old line, "The first 90% of the project takes 10%
of the time and the last 10% takes 90% of the time"?

Hi Bill,
My experiance was that if I started thinking too much about when, it would
ultimately take longer. Wanting to work faster often times created an "OH
SHIT". "Oh Shit", meant, I just screwed something up. Time to back off, drill
out, repair, re-order parts and try to forget that I just cost myself a week or
more of work.
Some of the things I expected to be simple and quick took a lot more time
than expected. Engine cooling baffles are a good example. I once heard the
plans for this little task refferred to as, "The Baffling, Baffle Plans". I spent
at least 2 weeks on them.
Build your plane in way that can enjoy your time spent working. It will get
finished and you will love it.

At that point in my project, I had about 400hrs and 9
months on it. I also received the QB fuse just after
finishing the standard wings myself.
I flew my 9 after 26 months and approx 1200-1300 hrs.
So, I'd say you're about 1/3rd throught it. Just keep
going and you'll finish it someday.
