Good luck..!

Happy metal bending, Sunny... but remember aeroplane kits, restos etc are not like mould... dont grow on their own. Suck up much life ingredient ...time.
But the rewards will be worth it.
Await the blog.

Are you married Sunny?

The RV builders divorce rate is currently over 50%, seriously!

Wives & toys & in this case aeroplanes don't mix.Take her out of the equation & then really start enjoying yr life !
As one famous person once said...."ahhhhh women are like elephants to me,nice to look at but ya wouldn't wanna own one" !

Wally - ."ahhhhh women are like elephants to me,nice to look at but ya wouldn't wanna own one".
Kipling had it better - "a woman - is only a woman; but a cigar, now that's a smoke".

Good on ya Sunny - enjoy; enjoy every minute, every scratch, lump, bump, tears, triumph and the happiness they bring. Life really is too short. Kudos on you - lots of it; in spades redoubled.

Good on you Sunny - welcome to the building community! Don't listen to those dire warnings about domestic disharmony. My husband is still speaking to me and I'm building my second RV

Old mate in our hangar got the RV ultimatum 'it's me or the plane'

He kept the RV and is a very happy man now................

He said to me when I started building:

'are you married?'

'nup'

'good, cos you wouldn't be at the end of the build'

Not related to the above post - a great reason to be a gay pilot. You both build it together and are far less likely to get divorced. Probably the only positive thing to being batty that I can think of

............and what happened to the sub contracted Mrs Mr J Ranga?

I'd heard an interview with a pilot who had been forced to give up his homosexuality, apparently it made his eyes water, double vision can be deadly in the ,,,, er,,, cockpit

Get the 8 if you want to turf her or you want 'The RV Ultimatum' (Expensive option, will cost you approximately half)

Get the 7 if you love her and want her to stick around (much more affordable and has fringe benefits)
