Hi all, I?m here because Ive been thinking about starting a 10 build within the next 6 months. The reason I?m on here talking about it though is maybe I should just be happy with what I have and keep flying and have fun. Right now I have a piper arrow ll. It has awesome paint, good low time engine and prop, all the low presti speed mods and so everyone says it?s an awesome arrow and best of all she?s paid for! What really grinds my gears though is I HATE having a shop tearing my bird apart and telling me how great my plane is but...oh ya it?s going to need the notorious wing walk repaired ($5000), nose strut needs work but cant make a simple repair you got to spend another $1200 there for one from a salvage yard and it just goes on every year. I?m sick of keeping mechanics and aviall in jobs. I think it makes more sense if I would like to upgrade to go to a used sr22 but I think my whole problem will still exist with any certified plane.
I?m a pretty good fabricator welding steel and such but have never done anything with aluminum. Am I wanting to build for the wrong reasons?
