An interesting quote

Post by jim_geo »

That I lifted directly from the Van web site.

"A more important requirement than skill is the right frame of mind. Building an airplane requires dedication, commitment, a willingness to learn and the ability to make (and correct) the occasional mistake without throwing a frothing fit or suffering an ulcer. Experienced builders gently counsel people whose personalities demand absolute perfection and microscopic accuracy to seek another project."

"A frothing fit" made me smile.

I thought we all might take something home from that quote.
