Default builders' remorse?

Gene Seibel wrote:
I believe there are flyers and builders. I am a flyer. Building doesn't
appeal to me. I see people spending years on a building project and it
appears they have some attraction to the building process. It seems to
be a valued part of their life like flying is a part of mine. As a
flyer, I wouldn't have the patience to build an airplane. Is it the
dream of actually flying the airplane or the building process that most
homebuilders are looking for? Just curious.

Because we fly, we envy no one.



Because I can fly to the fly-in, point to every part on the airplane and
say "I did that", I envy no one.

Building an airplane is all about pride in a task well done. Just like
climbing a mountain, painting a picture, writing a story, carving a
stone, or painting a car.
