What hull value did you get quoted?

We’re doing a slow build in a 2.5 car garage. One caveat is that we are storing the fuselage and undercarriage kit next door and plan on shuffling the completed assemblies to the storage spot and the fuselage kit into the workspace when we’re ready for it. We’re working on the empennage now and have...

Thanks Brian.

I’m thinking 12-18 month build time but it’s hard to know.
