Yes, Danny King has a great looking aircraft. But this is a WELL DONE to Peter Cheney for an excellent article that explains a lot about "earning something with your hands". It applies to much more than just good looking airplanes.

Agreed!

I just read the article that Peter wrote and it sums up the building, flying and maintaining of a homebuilt very well!

What we do is difficult to put into words, but he did a very good job!

Michael, thank you for pointing me to it!

Here again is the link to the article from Michael's posting:

I like this line:

To construct your own plane is to join a religion defined by engineering, adventure and deep self-belief.

Nailed.

"There are things that money can’t buy. One of them is a homebuilt airplane."

Thankfully that is 100% wrong.

If you bought it and didn't build it, the builder still owns its heart and soul! Only a builder will understand...

Ame, Amen.

No offense to anyone, but this is so true.
