If you are an experimenter, the thing most likely to kill you is not something you do or fail to do in the shop. It is something you do or fail to do in the air. (Read that again!) Listen to the NTSB. If you don't have the time to get some experience in a similar airframe before you fly your project, give serious thought to having a pro do your first few flights, then stay within the plane's limits.
