I mean, the guy must have been 40 years old! I told myself that there was no way I would be in my forties and just finishing my first homebuilt. I might have been right. Now that I'm 44, I'm PRAYING that I'll still be in my forties when I finish my first airplane.... Aaron, welcome to the old guys hobby of building airplanes. Seems most of us start when our kids are grown and we start to have some time on our hands. You're the smarter one here, starting your airplane BEFORE the responsibilities of family and career get in the way. You are indeed fortunate to have this opportunity. I look forward to seeing your airplane at the airshows soon. - Rob Wolf >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
