Poor folks, I think building would be fun, but only if I had a working
plane and time to build and fly. I guess retirement can't come soon
enough! I tell you having the Navion down for 3 years almost killed me.

I don't know how you did it. I trust you kept current in rental planes?

We've got friends who just finished their Glasair III last month. It's the
single most beautifully crafted airplane I've ever seen -- but it took him
TEN YEARS to build!

During that decade his wife discovered she had breast cancer, and was
thankfully able to beat it. But during that decade he spent every, single
night building, first in his home, then in his hangar. Night after night
after night...

What if that had been *him* that got cancer? He would have spent 3000
nights in an unheated hangar, by himself, and for what?

Life is just too short to use that kind of time.

Flying is life.
