I am in the "afraid to be bored" camp. I would bet that 90% of all kit or scratch builders are as well.

It is also a great feeling seeing your plane that you but together from scraps of wood start to soar through the sky and think, I built that and it really flys.

It also feels great when you are building, hit a step you think will be hard, then just push through it and realise it was not near as hard as you thought it would be.

If you stop learning, what is the point in getting up in the morning. Kit building is learning for me. I learn something new on each project I do, be it kit building, working on the hose or car or anything else. It all keeps my mind spinning, which keeps me out of trouble.

Sorry for the rambling post.
