Chris; you did well hanging in as long as you did, and no doubt learned a lot along the way!  It seemed like my 9A w/13B would never get done, so I found a derelict RV-3A for $6K and restored that so I'd have something to fly before getting too old! I hope to get back to the 9A this winter and fly it in a year or two.  Re. Your airframe, it also seems that canards offer unique challenges over the tractor configuration a/c that can be really challenging to sort out.  Hope we can hook up someday in the future... would be fun to see your bird even if it has Lyco power!  :). Take care,  Doug Lomheim. 1992 RV-3A / Lycoming O-290 (flying) / 201X RV-9A / Maz 13B (still under construction after 13 yrs!)
