Optionitis
Optionitis is a disease that commonly infects homebuilders. First time builders are particularly prone to infection, as like most diseases, immunity is developed by prior exposure. It manifests itself as a mania for not missing out on any and all optional improvements to airframes, engines, and devices already known to be serviceable and reliable.
Additional symptoms include eyestrain from too much internet, thinness of checkbook, and the agony of indecision. Many patients become aware of their condition, develop partial immunity, and proceed to a favorable outcome. However, if left unrecognized and untreated, the patient slowly becomes paralyzed, eventually resulting in a unfinished project.
Dr. Dan's presription? Buy an M1B and a constant speed Hartzell from Vans when they run a special. Install it bone stock...highly proven, no worries, plenty of guidance, good resale. Get flying, wring it out, and change whatever you want later.
