Hang in there Wendell,

 

My wife was about as "enthusiastic" about my project as yours.  She did come around a bit, when neighbor hood women commented on "how smart" her husband must be to build his own airplane {:>).  She eventually helped buck some rivets in places where I simply could not reach.  She does not, has not and probably will not fly with me in it.  No concern about safety - just flying is not her thing. 

 

But, fortunately, she does not mind me attending flying ins or spending time at the hangar.  So while at times, I think it would be nice is she flew with me, at least I can enjoy my hobby.

 

Ed

Wendell,

   Has your wife ridden in a like aircraft?  No   My wife had a "do your own
thing" attitude about mine until the last Copperstate  Fly-In, when I
managed to snag a ride for her (& me, too) in a COZY (Thank you
Marc.)  She's actually showing some enthusiasm for me completing
the project now.

My wife would reluctantly fly in a Cessna years ago (claims afraid of 
heights for her excuse), but like Ed put it, flying is not her thing, 
 it is the complete unwillingness to even ask a question about it or discuss it in the
 least is what is so disheartening.  But she lets me spend a little money on it so I 
should be happy with that I guess.
