I wanted to find out if there are any builders out there that started building before they got their pilots license?
Would you do it again? Do anything different? etc.
I have been interested in flying for a few years now, parents live on an air strip and I have attended several fly-ins. My career is going to keep me very busy during the daytime for the next 2 or 3 years but should ease up after that (sales). However, I have plenty of time in the evening and a garage that can be cleaned out in a weekend!!
What I would like to do is start building now (RV-7, preview plans in hand), then work on flying in a year or two. I have helped a friend with his 7A and think that I would really enjoy the project.
I probably could have held off for a while if I didn't get my first ride in an RV-8 at the Rebel's Bluff Fly-in a couple of weeks ago.
Any feedback would be appreciated!!
