I am one of those guys who loves nothing better than spending the entire evening in the shop building. For those of us who do, there is nothing better. We try to hone our skills and our craft to the nth degree. Its better than any drug or drink I ever had and the satisfaction of a plane flying straight off the boards is the best. I started flying about 20 years ago and was pretty good. Then I traded in my wings for two boys and a wife and a house. Last year I re-entered the hobby with abandon since the wife is "ex" and the boys are grown. I remember in the old days, the second plane I built was a Mark's Models Bushwacker plane. It was a long winged tail dragger with some real pretty lines. It flew very gracefully and I always enjoyed bringing it to the field. But as I have found out recently, Mark is no longer making models and the Bushwacker is no longer available. Shame, it was a sweet plane. So keep the coffee hot and I'll see ya in the shop. Oh by the way, I made two fuse/wing stands this past weekend out of 2" thick rigid foam and some pvc tubing....works great and it cost a total of $12.... the (new) ol lady loved that one!

Peace
