That's just...wrong. ;-) It's a personality thing. My pal Doug has been working every night and weekend on the RV-10 and it's ready to fly after about a year and a half. He previously built an RV-6 (slow build, no pre-punch) in about 13 months. He tells me that he's doing the building so that he can have a new, cool, affordable airplane to fly, but I'm convinced he's hooked on the building process. In between airplanes, he can usually be found tearing out walls and reconfiguring his house. The good part about this is that my sweat equity in his airplanes gives me 1st shot at buying the plane if (I mean when) he decides to sell. He has sworn that he'll be keeping the RV-10 forever, but he said that about the RV-6 too. Someday it will be mine! Thank heaven for compulsive builders! For those interested, here's a site with the chronology of the build : http://www.rvator.com John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |
