My experience has not been as Dick fears. Marv stated it about perfectly. In my case I'm exactly like Dick - an engineer and a pilot. I had no prior building experience of any sort, I'm not 'handy', but I can think. This, the will, and a network (such as this) makes building the 360 easily within your grasp. To Tom's point about the manual, sure there are holes but so what? You fill them in yourself or call the factory. Which you do (and when) depends on which kind of engineer you are - electrical or mechanical. Consider phone calls to the factory an extension of the manual and I think you have a very thorough assistance package. Have the Lancair factory inspect your project at the end and test fly it for you and they'll catch any killer items you may have missed (hopefully). Just in case you missed a key revision page. Welcome Dick, c'mon in and join our club. Regards, Ed.
