Greetings everyone, it's been years since I posted but now I have the bug again. Building my ?6 20 years ago kicked my butt, I remember the long nights for years, tennis elbow, aches and pains in my shoulders etc. in the end it was all worth it and I loved that airplane.
Now at 59 I'm feeling very well but not sure I have what it takes to spend another three or four years in the workshop or whether or not my elbows and wrists can take it.
My days of getting a second wind at 10 PM and staying in the shop till two in the morning are over?
Are there many other builders my page with the same concerns?
Heaven forbid I would build something other than a RV just to get something easier to build like a Rans S-21.
Thanks,
Rick Smith
