Today marks exactly one year since I started the project. I did almost exactly 400 hrs, which is about 100 shorter than I would like, but I feel like I am making pretty good use of the time with the help of friends and family - I couldn't do this without them. I am now a little nervous about the financial aspects as I don't have a real "plan" for paying for all this and I don't want to borrow money if I can help it. I am hopeful that my time and money keep me on pace for my personal goal of flying when I turn 40 (3 yrs from now).
Compared to a year ago when I couldn't drive a rivet to save my butt, I feel like I have come a long way.
