I'm in the same boat as you. I've been watching a lot of youtube videos, flying, building, walk arounds, etc. I'm pretty curious about estimated build times.

Hi AgFlyer, sounds like you are in NorCal somewhere around Sac. I'm in Woodland, and like you want to build the LEXL. I have ordered the plans and they should be here any time now. My best buddy has an RV-6 at Lincoln. I will ask him if he knows about a Legal Eagle over there. There is also a gang of them down at Rio Vista, O88. These birds just look like some old school flying fun, without the big bucks being spent. After two much more serious airplane projects, this looks like a piece of cake to build.

Mark.

I have an LE XL at Camarillo Airport at the far west end, hangar #21, if you would like to check it out.  Send me a PM at this web site and we can arrange a meeting.
