Jim, I feel the pain. Been there a few times myself, but I keep getting back on the horse. I have a good friend who really is a master builder. He does a beautiful job. Last year he had a new B-25 that was just awesome. Details out the Kazoo. Fiberglass finish with wood and foam construction. Used automotive paint to put a beautiful finish on this beauty. On about the third, or fourth flight he lost an engine on take off. You know the rest of this story. This beautiful B-25 rolled over on her back and went in. Total loss. He loves B-25's and has two completed with two on the bench. He had put about 1600 hours in the one he lost. After he lost the newest one he got out another kit and started immediately. This really motivated me when I lost my original Pitts, and this was just an ARF. I still felt sick inside. This was no throw down, it was my pride and joy, but the new one is even better. Like my friend says, each time I have had to get up and do it again I learn something new and the models just keep getting better. Love this attitude.
