Sabrina,
I will take the under bet on that one. I figure more like 100-125 hours. At 17
hours of labor, I have about 75% of the disassembly complete. I figure I can
have it all disassembled at around 25 hours and take 3-4X of that to incorporate
and re-assemble.
But hey, who is counting? I love this kind of work anyway. I was trained as an
A&P, but always worked in Engineering so this hands-on work is fun for me.
Good luck on your's.

I have spent more than 17 hours going over the drawings and now the updated drawings...
:O)
Of my 2200 hour build, 1100 was "thinking it through". I have brake lines, battery
cables, and wiring going through the center spar, not to mention the fuel
pumps, fuel lines, primer lines, and backup battery mounted to it.
So too, I created aluminum/foam/aluminum-thermoplastic side skin sandwiches around
the center spar uprights because I thought the center spar too prone to vibrations
and movement. That all has to be removed without damage to the side
skins.
Not to mention that my center spar is tied to my firewall and cabin floor with
extruded aluminum via a forward center stack...
To get to the rear spar attach plates, I have to remove four 4130 reinforcements...
200 hours is a good bet for my aircraft...

Yeah, I pretty much built mine to plans. I did not run my brake lines through
the center spar so luckily I did not have to bust them open. Only had to cut
three electrical lines to get the center section out.
Now that I am reviewing the new draft drawings for the first time, I see there
is increased complexity. I need to bump up my hours estimate.
Congrats on your motorcycle test. As a volunteer FF/EMT, most accidents I see
are the rider going off the pavement on their own accord. Stay alert and be careful
out there!

I posted this on Zenith Aero but it was removed for some reason so I will
repost it here.
On the second wing I will have a helper hold the camera so you can see more
of the work.
And after doing a lot of the mod already I think it will take 200 hrs also.

Your input is needed!
November 25, 2009

The link to the survey is:

This is a unique (at least in my experience) opportunity to possibly
influence the EAA's direction. Have at it.
