What a great quote....""It's really not that difficult. If you can open a can of beer, you can build a plane," .....hang on, that means I'm a super qualified aircraft builder.
I certainly produce enough scrap aluminium to reskin a T-7 or 2.
Great post Mike.

I'd love to build another plane but I have no financial wherewithal to do it!
The last one (Van's RV-8 fastback) I didn't get to finish due to marital separation. I had pretty much the entire airframe built, and was about to start instruments, avionics and engine. Regret that I didn't get to finish, but life can sometimes throw you curve balls, and it was my decision to split after all. Ah well. Lost dreams just a part of growth.
