Xjetdisp90,
For my private I went longer, for several reasons, primarily due to the fact that I took some flight training in high school, some a few years later, more a few years later than that. When I got serious, I started Part 61 but didn't finish Part 61 because of 9/11 (I was supposed to due my long solo cross country that day, and take my checkride the following week). When we were able to start flying again, I was at a major Part 141 flight academy in Florida.

Good. But you also said that you've "seen it done". What did you see done? The required experience in 65.77 working one or two days a week in a thirty month period? Say it ain't so!
Good luck to you, and to building an RV. I firmly believe that "in a perfect world" every pilot should be involved in the maintenance of the aircraft that they fly. But then again, we don't live in a perfect world, & I know of a number of pilot who have no business putting a wrench in their hand!
