Default RE: I must be an adict?,.. or sick?

Since we've strayed off into the world of design and kitting, let me caution you guys.  I did both in the early '80's.  My partner and I designed and kitted the "Elliptic".  It was a first generation turn around pattern design and was very successful.  Received nice reviews from the leading mags of the day.  But....designing and cutting parts is the easy part.  Actually, the only fun part.  Things like advertizing, artwork, packaging, the IRS, molding canopies, wheel pants, cowlings, tooling jigs, etc., etc. are no fun!!  And then there's us, the always unsatisfied customer.  Actually, we only had a few of those, but those kind of people are just plain weird...and a pain in the behind.  But, you won't know til you try.  So my best to all you future kit  suppliers.  You're gonna  hate those week ends when your buds are at the flying field and you're cuttin' out parts.  You never know, it might my order you're cuttin' out when you could be flying.  Good news is, I'm a nice customer!
