The thing I'm worried about is having to step up to piston engines. You guys get a better variety of planes! And that also means I can't load the Element and head to the playground for a relaxing evening of flying. But I guess that's how you get deeper and deeper into it.

I think you are right on the manufacturers too. My Cessna seems to be a bigger challenge than some others might be. My Foamy P47-D is going together while sitting on the couch watching TV. Not a very difficult build, but what a beautiful plane! It's going to be a lot of fun to fly I am sure. The Lancair is fiberglass. So that will be an entirely different build too.

I'm going to need a bigger apartment!
