Even then, that sounds a little high. Perhaps he's just one of those

Interesting video. Building an RV4 in 4500 hours, presented in 10 minutes.

Isn't that about twice the average number of hours usually required to build
an RV4? What is the average, anyone know?- Hide quoted text -

It looked that way to me. Everything looked perfect. I suspect the guy
is of the 'measure 10 times, check the manual, measure again, cut
once, take a photo and write an entry in the builder's log' type.
