Valid points, but why aren't you posting about your Citabria project? My
favorite little fun airplane!


It's part of my job, but things like fabric and painting--
especially painting--tend to spill over into all hours. Paint. Wait
for it to dry. Paint. Wait. Wet-sand. Paint. Wet-sand some more.
Paint. Wait. Paint. Wait. You get the idea. It doesn't fit at all well
into the eight-hour day, and I get little done unless I go down at odd
hours and shoot another coat so it'll dry and I can shoot more than
one a day. These jobs can take forever, and it's why there are few
tube-and-rag airplanes still being built.
I work at the airport, and the paint shop is off-airport, so
I'm forever driving back and forth. The paint shop is a couple blocks
away from home, the airport 2 1/2 miles away.
If it ever quits snowing here I'll be cycling to work and
trying to wear off the winter fat. The days are getting longer, with
the sun coming up pretty early at this latitude. And then I can cycle
to work at 6 AM through the nice spring fields in the cool of the day
and clear skies and morning sunshine and hear the birds and see the
deer and go flying in my own airplane before work.
Then I work on airplanes all day, fly them some, teach a
class.
I can hear the groans from the guys who drive an hour to work
through the smog and noise and road rage and get to sit in a stuffy
office all day and put up with office politics. They'd love to trade
places. I'd love to have their paycheck. Life is so often a bunch of
tradeoffs.

Dan
