Sounds like she might be a keeper. Thanks for the laugh, it should keep me in good spirits for about a week.

Forgive me; I'm not building a -14. What step in building an aluminum RV involves 'a generous amount of RTV'?

Youre lucky. My wife keeps reminding me that its my project, not hers. If i ask for any more than about 5 minutes worth of help, I've used up all my help for the day.

We're married to the same person?! The only time my wife refers to it as, 'our plane' is when I threaten to move us and she says, 'but where would you build OUR plane?'

The oil cooler inlet assembly corners. There's just no way to get perfect lines with RTV inside that thing. She was right, I kept messing with it until she took it away from me. Turned out good though ..

Remind her of that when it's finished and flying, and she wants you to take her somewhere.

Don't do it! Unless you like that hands-on-hips, evil eye, head side-to-side, "I know you di'nt jus say dat to me" response that means the Avgas you were gonna buy...just turned into some "make-up" jewelry!
Cheers,
