Best advice you got from another builder?
What's the best advice you ever got from another builder, whether it's about building, flying, tools, etc. What one special nugget of wisdom sticks out in your mind as number one?

Don’t be a hermit builder, seek advice, use your resources...from the late, great Joe Blank, my tech advisor!

Are you building the next Lindy, or do you want to get the thing in the air?
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Build on.

Don't rivet anything until you absolutely cannot go further on that assembly without doing so.

Practice
Practice, practice, practice.
Building is a perishable skill. If it's been a while, practice on scrap first.
Get a Mentor then a Tech Advisor.
