With my -8 now at the airport and me being there most every day, I've been fielding some questions from people who have never built an airplane.
Most people are impressed and supportive, but some of them are comical and others kind of irritating with their ignorance.
Here's some of the things I've heard over the last few weeks along with my responses.
Q-Haven't you finished that thing yet?
A-I'm not sure why it's taking me so long. How's your plane coming along?
Q-Those little dents where the rivets go, are they supposed to be there?
A- Naw, I just pounded them extra hard cause I like the look.
Q- Did you know there's a small crack in the canopy?
A- Yeah, they come like that from the factory.
Q- Aren't you afraid you might kill yourself in that.
A- What are you hoping to die from?
My favorite. Will you take for a ride in that crate when it's done?
A- Why sure, you'll be first on the list.
Has anyone else been asked some "interesting" questions about your airplane?
