    Looks great Dave!

    As a “repeat offender” do you have any idea how long did the various phases took to do? I’d imagine you are getting quicker with each one.

    Much much easier the 2nd time around than the first and less stressful. I keep a very strict Excel spreadsheet of all the time I work listing the date, time start and time finish and what work was done. Note that these times are only the times I actually worked on the plane directly and included the time I spent looking at the manual and watching videos while doing the build. It does NOT include all the time spent before the build reading/scanning all the manuals watching videos, reading forum posts, etc. It also does not include paint time.

    WORK DONE EX2 EX3
    Left Wing. 90 52
    Right WIng 53 45
    Fuselage 108 66

    Cover
    Tailfeathers 43 22
    Fuselage 46 27
    Right Wing 36 22
    Left Wing 26 24

    Finish 263 186

    Wiring G3X 58 60 (took longer because I was making a wiring chart for the future)
    Total Time. 719 507 hours

    Thanks Dave, you beat your first build by 30%!

    I read you planing another one already! It’s becoming a bit of habit ;-) not a bad one to have, must be very satisfying to see them come together.

    all the best. Peter E.

    David,

    We get 75 mile radius here and it’s a 40 hour fly-off. Nice that my daughter house and new grandbaby is 74 miles away! ;-)
