What's the margin of error on this survey? (I knew I went to graduate school for some reason!) What about all those really old guys building who haven't figured out the computer enough yet to take part in this survey? (I can say that because if you're old and reading this you aren't the ones I just kind of insulted!)
The results will be skewed to the younger crowd here. Interesting nonetheless. Party pooper, aren't I?!

osxuser.....
Shoot/buck a lot of rivets before you turn 21. They will look MUCH better than if you shoot a few, 'after having a few'.

31 when I started in May 05. Hopefully it will fly before 33. No kids and no wife make it easy, but the job and the Reserves make it hard. Why can't they just leave us alone and let us build, but still pay us?

Wow, I figured that when I began around 35 that I was getting a fairly early start, but after reading some of these posts I'm kinda feeling old and crusty... I just turned 37 a few days ago and have maybe 6 months or so until it's done. I'm amazed that 20-somethings are building; when I was early to mid 20s working as a freight dog and commuter pilot I didn't have a dime to spare, much less enough to build anything... stupid airline career.
Ah well, it's finally paying off; 37 with a wife, dog, no kids, an RV-8 and a CBR 600 F4 in the garage. I'm still young enough to act like a kid I suppose...
