Today the one-and-only Scott McDaniels visits the project to answer my questions and offer guidence.
As a part of the EAA Tech Counselor program, Scott was kind enough to spend a couple hours asking all of the questions that have burdened me, and provide some advice where he saw fit.
The Tech Counselor program is an invaluable perk of being a member of the EAA, and one that I certainly wish I had taken advantage of sooner.

------------
I'm Ryan, an aviation enthusiast who has decided to build his own aircraft and publish the entire process online for others to watch along. If you have ever want to build an airplane, this is a great glimpse at what it takes.
The airplane is a two-person experimental kit built aluminum plane capable of over 200 miles per hour, and a range of over 700 miles. The kit is manufactured by Van's Aircraft one of the most prolific kit aircraft providers in the world. The airplane is aerobatic, functional, and fun. The build is challenging, time consuming, fun and rewarding.
