Default RE: Scratch vs Plan built?

hello everybodyyyyyyyyyyy
Just thought I would put in my two cents into the mix. Now just for a little history I've been building planes since I was 12 and flying around in circles for some sick reason that today I still can't figure out. Anyway I find that with me when I design my own plane there is a certain level of pride that I have in doing the whole process that I just don't find in kit building or plans building. Now don't get all excited, I didn't say that you didn't have any pride in your model of what ever it is. All I'm saying is that with me it's not the same to build someone elses model becouse in the end it still feels like someone else's model. Now I know you may make a change or two or maybe even three but it still does not compare to designing your own model.
Now for you guys sitting on your duffs drinking coffee and eat'in doughnuts, well all I have to say is as I get older I can see the enjoyment in just sitt'in around shoot'in the breeze.
(just don't get mad at us younger folk for flying low and fast [>:] )
