Can you also provide the proper vehichle for the test period?



Nope, I can't even fly, unless of course I talk one of you guys into taking
me up.

I find the prospect of building an airplane very interesting. I've studied
the skills required, and have decided that I can handle it. I've also
studied the time required and found I'm not even close! ;(

I thought it might be interesting to play around with building a prop. I own
a machine shop complete with design tools, CAM software, and CNC equipment.
I have a better than average grasp of high school math, but obviously can't
handle the kind of design work it would take to pull of a project like this.

I enjoy wrapping my brain around a problem, and coming up with a low tech
solution. I don't have the time, or budget to get involved with a large
project, but thought a prop might be within reach. After reading the group's
responses, I'm still confident I can build one, but I don't think I can
design it. ;(

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
