15 hours a week is pretty good!! I haven't started the build per say but like you, I have my nose in the drawings every chance I get to try to understand why every part is made the way it is so I don't hesitate too much when I start.

On the pictures, the wings look almost completed... What I meant is that your making very good progress (at least in my opinion).

Vincent - this wing represents about 15-20 hours of work so far.  The confidence level goes up with each part assembled - that, plus trying to memorize as much of the plans as I can in my off-time and watching the "home-built help" DVD's - when I started working on this wing, I really didn't have any hesitation or worry.  I'm finding that my efficiency is going up as I progress... plus, I put a lot of time in the shop.  I work out of my home and I go out to the shop several times every day - if for nothing else, deburr some holes, prep some parts, or look at the plans again.  I'm probably getting at least 15 hours per week in... so maybe "fast" is relative?
