Feed the fish to the Crab, the crab to the dog, (who will get sick and die of mercury poisoning), put the kid in daycare, send the frau to her mother. Now you have 11 hours to do what you want! Simple!!!

I can still remember building a Goldberg Valkyrie (free flight), from plans (1946), each rib of the giant elliptical wing had to be constructed seperately and to a different size. the fuse was an oval cross section of formers fitted over a crutch and with many stringers to round out the shape, covered with bright orange silk and clear dope. - powered by a Gold Seal O&R 60 on ignition. A beautiful airplane and a source of pride and pleasureful flying until Uncle Sam and the wild blue yonder called. Would I, or rather, could I attempt that today? Who knows, but I assembled a Rascal 110 in a week (instead of 6 months) and derive as much or more pleasure in flying it. Besides, these arthiritic fingers aren't as nimble as they used to be.
