Okay...I've been noticing something since I started building my -7. I know I don't have any special psychic abilities, and I also I'm not particular experienced or adept at building...frankly, I'm kinda' klutzy sometimes. I've been noticing, though, that 9 times out of 10 when I just stick my hand into the bin and grab a bunch of skin rivets (3-3.5, for example), I pull out EXACTLY the right number of rivets...not one more, not one less, but exactly.
What made me really notice this was I just needed maybe 5 rivets but I deliberately grabbed a whole lot more than I needed just to "break the chain", so to speak. After I finished the row I was working on, I continued onto the next row and wouldn't you know it...EXACTLY the right amount to finish off the second row.
Anyone else out there having a similar bizzare experience? I'm formulating a theory that Van's sprinkles his parts with magic dust. This contributes to ease of building, uncanny rivet grabbing, and amazing flight characteristics. Certainly would explain a lot, wouldn't it?
Now if only I could get Tinkerbell herself to pay a visit....hubba hubba
