Either you are single and live alone, or you are a jedi master at persuading the wife to let you do that... I'd never get away with it!!!

I tried and was met with that "OH NO YOU DON'T!" stance/glare. I tried testing the wifey by putting the rudder on the sofa. She was not happy.

She lets me keep the parts in a spare bedroom and tucked away in the corner of the livingroom, so I guess I shouldn't push my luck.

There is a -6 builder here who completed his airplane in his house. Like in a family room. The amazing thing is that the fuselage was in a carpeted room. We could find no sign of aluminum shavings in that carpet. We heard he did an engine run in there. Guess things were a bit smokey.

I've got my tail group hanging on the bedroom wall. That picture made me think there should be a VWAF site for the wives/girlfriends of us lunatics.

Back in my bachelor/builder days, there was a period of several years (the fuselage kit and the finish kit) where I had the empennage in one bedroom and the wings in the master bedroom beside the bed.

Later, they were joined by the canopy which lived in the dining room. The rest of the finish kit lived in the third bedroom.

Trust me, the chicks dug it!

Now that I'm married, SWMBO says I'm lucky I met her after the plane was built.
