I understand. Riveting was so easy ...
Until I actually started doing it.

Mike tell us about yourself, as you like. Are you a pilot? Do you have a current project or just planning? All the best. Welcome aboard.

Humility
Not 100% sure what you are referring to, but if it's about learning humility while building an aircraft, I can relate. I've told my engine story 100 times, so won't tell it again, but after that experience, you can bet your bottom dollar I'm doing whatever the build manual, the factory, AC43.13, and particularly whatever Van recommends!

It's All Good
My OP was actually an attempt at mild humor. I will admit frustration at accomplishing something successfully only to fall flat on the next step. (Did I mention how good I'm getting at drilling out rivets?)
We're building a -10. Intimidation is huge. Never having worked with hands is huge. Over-thinking everything is huge.
I'm almost finished closing the HS. It's my second attempt at building the HS. I'm looking forward to seeing other pages of the plans.
Honestly, I'm having a blast (at this moment)!
Mike

A wise builder once told me. "hours of contemplation followed by minutes of execution", I found he was correct. As well as the other saying we have all heard: "90% done and 90% to go"

I've been asked how long it took to build our airplane. The honest answer is that it didn't take very long.
Now ask me how long I spent thinking about how to build it, planning for each and every build step, contemplating exactly where to run fuel lines, wire bundles, etc etc etc. The answer to that question is... "You don't want to know. You REALLY don't want to know!" :-)
