Default RE: Another Venture 60

Thank you. I kept hearing how it was different when you put it all together yourself, I think I found the "feeling". I have put together a number of arf's, maidening them was different. It's a little more intense, maybe I think it's because you tend to scrutinize your own work differently, hold it to a different standard, than if you maiden an arf. I looked at it like, at a factory, they hammer these things out relentlessly, and once the first quantity are built, they all have a certain sameness about them. Not that it's a bad thing, but for the people putting them together, there is no feeling for it. For myself, it was part of a learning experience for that length of time, and each piece was touched by me, sanded glued and covered by me. Finally, it was flown by Me. A balsa epiphany....
