I have lost my way and would appreciate any and all opinions.
I started my RV-12 project five years ago and have enjoyed most of it, wiring excluded. Due to a change in my financial situation, I may be able to complete my project, but despite my “windfall” I have done some soul searching and financial analysis, along with a review of certified aircraft currently for sale, finishing my RV-12-ULS will give me a more capable and valuable aircraft, with respect to my mission needs. Solo x-cross country and 100 dollar hamburgers with friends (friend).
I want to get back on track and my thoughts were to:
1. Invite tech counselors from my EAA chapter to give my work to date a thorough evaluation
a. No one wants to hear criticisms of the quality of your work, but safety first, last and always.
2. Sell the project as is and pay off the loan
3. Buy a certified aircraft with less capability and dealing with the burden of a 40 plus year old aircraft that may have an unknown history and cannot predict future costs.
I guess what I am asking for is the motivation I need to, continue with my project. If anyone has had a similar experience and what they did to overcome the challenges would be greatly appreciated. If you are not comfortable with posting, by all means send me an email.
Respectfully submitted
