It is a chronic, unrelenting affliction, characterized by aimless wandering around your house with a glazed look on your face. I have yet to discover a cure, other than the obvious resorting to being a repeat offender. With continuing therapy and close monitoring by my wife, I have been able, so far, to resist......
Welcome to the club, Chad!
Thanks Jeff! Yeah...I already know that I'm going to miss the build sessions. I have a car to restore next, but I just don't think it will be the same...
It looks like you are nearing the end of the beginning to paraphrase Winston Churchill. As you will find out, an experimental plane is never finished My first flight was in 2005 and I am always "improving" it.
I read the rest of your website pages. Don't worry about having your interior installed for weighing. If its not completely installed, you can simply tape the pieces in their general locations and their weights will be accounted for.
Don't get in a hurry at this late stage of the process. Take some time to celebrate your accomplishment. In life, we strive for great achievements and must stop for reflection or we will let the moment get away from us.
Good luck!
Thanks Tom! Agreed 100%...I don't get in a rush to do much of anything. I did get most of the interior installed tonight before incoming weather forced me home (I'm sure you and several other RBers in the area dealt with this today/tonight). The rest of it will just be laid in place to get the weight accounted for. Pics in another thread...
