And at 22, I thought I was getting an early start! This kid has me beat by quite a bit. Although I do think its interesting to look at who wrote the article. Similar posting on AVweb. Way to go Rusty! Hope you finish it and end up coming to GTech (#2 Aerospace/#6 Mech. Eng. school in the US).

Wow! I was really working toward getting a tail kit this summer, and be building at 18! It's great the kid's doing what he is. Gives me more inspiration to work towards my goal of a -7.

I would have loved to start building at that age however; I was not financially able to do so. In fact I may not be financially able at the age of 30. Good luck to you kid. If you are on this forum, get in touch with me. I live down the road from you.

The information that I post is just that; information and my own personal experiences. You need to weight out the pros and cons and make up your own mind/decisions. The pictures posted may not show the final stage or configuration. Build at your own risk.

I like it. I say a similar thing: "I can't afford it, but I'm doing it anyway." By the way, I'm 27 and was 24 when I started.

I'm 28, been building for 3 years. I can't afford it either but I figured I'd start now so I have plenty of time to enjoy it.
