I would like to thank anyone in advance for commenting on their feelings.
I have dreamed of building a plane with my father. As the adage goes ?We had time and no money. Now I have money and no time?. My father passed several years ago so now I want to build but with my wife and kids. This is an expensive endeavor and will take many years. How many of you had seconds thoughts before buying the kit? I have been watch a couple guys on YouTube build for years and they do talk about the difficulties but have no kids. Mine are little but getting to do this project would create life long memories not to mention getting to fly places once done.
Did anyone think this is crazy, what am I doing, why am I considering this, or is this even worth it? I know that in the end getting to fly around with my family is fun for me but what if they want nothing to do with it? I guess I?m just looking to hear that I?m not along in thinking this is a crazy long process that could potentially fail. I don?t want to fail but family comes first. I want to do this with them, not against them. I don?t want to be selfish with my time or money. Money in a plane takes away from other buckets of money. That said, I don?t want to wait until I?m 60 and then not have ?time? with my family in the plane. Can?t have it all in life.
Thanks again for anything you all have to say.
