Default RE: Help With Motivation to Build

go to a local flying vlub and sit there for about 5 hours on a nice day =D
I like that one...

For me, I have the worst time with completing a kit. Only because I have to build it 3 times (minimum) and the hard part comes in when I want to build a new one, but have to finnish the old one first. So I set myself a rule: I can't draw a single line (well, maybe a just a few ) until I have the last design ready for testing. It gets really bad when It is a nice day, I want to go flying, and I'm stuck at my desk designing.

Knocking off a prototype takes maybe 3 days of design work, and 10 hours to build. Then the fun turns to work when your on the 3rd revision, and you have to make 22 changes to the manual and plans. Like right now... I'm supposed to be finishing a manual and loading some kits up to ship by 11:00, but I'm here typing and yaking.

For anyone who writes in here that they need motivation, I feel it's the responsibility for the rest of us all to keep asking what the status is on the kit... "the nagging wife" (Just kidding, don't send me letters)
