Amazing. When you think of airplanes, it's quite natural to think of
them as though they are punched out on a production line with a cookie
cutter with every nut and bolt exactly the same. It's hard to think of
things that complicated as highly individual products each with it's own
materials reflecting the hands of the specific people who built it.

I'm sure you have noticed this as well through the years; that every
airplane has a "personality" all it's own. Some are a pleasure to fly,
and another of the same type will have a completely different "feel" to it.
Even pilots are this way. Ever notice when you're flying with someone
else who has all the guges nailed in to within a fraction of an inch and
they hand the airplane over to you to fly for awhile the first thing you
always do is retrim the thing because it "just doesn't feel right to you?"
