I'd believe 50-60 hrs more easily, but I guess that proves what people
say, if you're going to do significant avionics upgrades it's cheapest
to wait until you're going to do the whole thing. I'm sure having
big gaping holes made some aspects easier. And of course if you solder
and do wire bundling on a daily basis I'm sure that makes you faster.
