I guess I am like the other Gene. I really enjoy the building part. Makes your heart go pitter, patter when you see that puppy in the air. I do mostly scratch building. Bought several plans from air-age. I build, my wife does most of the covering. She does however, have no interest in learning to fly. But, she will say, do you want to go to the field and she rides with me.
Is that what happened to my hart?? I never said what I was doing when I had my hart attacks. I was out in the shop finishing up an ARF I was doing a review on and I had just finished it. I needed to get about a half dozen finish photos and needed grass as a back ground. I picked up my camera and the plane to take it up to the mail box area, took about two steps out of my shop and Shazam, it hit me. Being a dumb ass I still walked up to get the photos, I knew what was going on but figured it would just go away, this thinking from a first responder, guess you could say those classes and training were wasted!!. I got up there {about 50 yards} got the photos, walked back to the shop, put the plane away, came into the house and dialed 911!! Truth!! It's what I did.
I couldn't figure out the programs Mike sent me to do reviews so he said to just send him the photos and my review in an email when I felt up to it. I finally did the review and sent it to Minn. Two days later I got the word he had passed.
I decided then and there, fooling with ARFs is hazardous to your health!! I also decided that Mrs. Winchester had the right idea. I have been on a building mission sense I have been able to get back into my shop. I was waiting for that other shoe to drop but I'm now feeling great but I'm not going to stop building, been buying more and more plans, have a few kits. Look what happened to Mrs. Winchester when the builders of her house went out on strike!! I'm not risking it.
Now you know what happens when your hart goes pitter patter!!! Plus you get even stranger if your lucky enough to recover!!!
