This bird means a lot to me and it costed me In thousands to build it not to mention years it took to be built, so maybe I'll get over this hard step n will fly it before the end of this year, time will tell. Lately it feels as if I'm pushing myself to finish her up and that feeling just puts me off. I really don't know what it is but it is what it is. Hope some of you guys can understand my feeling.
Ken pretty much gave you the best advice possible to which I will add this.

Sam,
You have got to look at it this way.
Yes it cost a lot of both time and effort to build it but if something did happen you can always build another, and it will come out lighter stronger and better.
At least that's what I think as I prepare a plane for maiden.
One thing you have to accept with this hobby is that sometimes planes crash.
I always try to look at it as a learning experience.
