builders' remorse?

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.

Some writers have to write, some artists have to paint, some flyers have to
build. That's how it is for me, anyway. I couldn't come anywhere close to
justifying the time and expense otherwise. I'm building an RV-4, which you
can pretty much buy already built for the money it's going to cost in the
end. I gotta do it myself.
