Hello to all.
I am new to the world of experimental aircraft and absolutely new to actually building an aircraft myself. I have mixed emotions about everything but I am assuming my feelings of anxiety and some partial guilt is new to the whole process. I am a 48 year old MSgt in the Air Force as a Jet engine Mechanic so I am by no means "rich" with money but definitely rich with hopes, commitment and dreams. I have a 16yr old, young man who is a junior in high school, an awesome athlete and is sympathetic to my dreams of building an aircraft but is always asking me, "where are you going to keep it?" not knowing I will have space at my local airport when the plane will be done. My wife says she is on board but with kind of a "sideways" knod and look. I always put my family first, but not really sure what to do. Anyone else ever ride this roller coaster before the process even started?
