Have you really done everything you need to do in Phase I?
A full flight testing program.
Expanded and documented the envelope?
All allowed maneuvers, stalls, spins, rools, loops ..., at which W&B?
Do you really have all the the numbers to make a complete POH?
Stall speeds clean and dirty at all W&B configurations?
Range (fuel burn) at all configurations?
And so on.
40 hours go quick that way.
THAT is what Phase I is for.
And how can you consider the build complete without all that?
Hope that helps.

Just wondering, If anyone else had trouble with the transition phase from building to flying? I just can't seem to get my headspace right to enjoy it.
I have flown the plane quite a few times over the last couple of years, each time having to fix issues that arose, so technically I was still in the building phase.
Seems now, that no major changes are needed, I'm having trouble getting enthusiasm to fly it, even on perfect flying days like today, and the days are counting down to finish my phase 1.
Its not the flying or the airplane/engine that worries me, I just seem to really miss having to work on it.
cheers, Andrew
