I get the part about " I'll make it work ", I'm that way myself. But as time and planes have come and gone I have realized to say pass easier now.
Jim 2,
Almost no one understands why it is imperative to pursue all approaches until it works. It is both a blessing and a curse causing the successes to be great and the failures to be bad.
Probably the airplane was intended to be flown from the California cliffs bordering the Pacific Ocean. A Mac truck could be thrown off the cliff and thermaled back to the top.
