Hey Scott, great news, congratulations!!!
Sounds like as you did a perfect job. By the way, I am jealous about your engine
sound. The "music" of the 912S on my XL won't be even close to what your airplane
must sound...
Cheers Martin

Congratulations Scott!
So you're taking lessons in your own plane then? That's cool. I was under the impression
you already had a license though. Good luck with everything. Sounds
like you have a good instructor being that he's willing to give you lessons in
a experimental.

Could someone confirm that some 601 XL QBKs were supplied with the aileron cable
fairleads installed upside down (the slot facing up instead of down). I seem
to recall some talk of this on the forum but can't find anything in the archive
thanks

Congratulations !!!
A huge day made even better because you did it in a plane you built.
As for finding instructors to teach in an experimental. Folks just need to find
REAL instructors and not time builders. I've already got 2 that have offered
free BFRs just to fly in my yet completed plane. The difference being the real
instructors love airplanes and not just the idea of sitting in the right seat
of a flying bus.

I had a great instructor who understood this and didn't want to see me just renting
planes forever. I think he took it as a personal challange to see how well
he could teach me. My checkride actually counted as my 40 hour. :) I had 39.5
going in and 41 at the end of the checkride, with all the requirements satisfied
within the 39.5 hours within a 3 month period. That guy wasn't screwing around.
Guy named Renee from Denmark. Cool dude. Super friendly and knowledgable.
He used to walk around the FBO quoting FARs ouut of the book just to peeve
the owner who was a know-it-all. lol

My first solo was 20 years ago next Thursday. That started me on the path
that has me in my own airplane. You're doing something I waited far too long
to do. Congratulations!
