RE: Lost interest in a build
When I am building I usually build three or four planes at a time and do similar assemblies on each one at the same time. Keeps me from being bored with one plane, and if i catch fire and have a vision on a particular one I move it up and work it faster than the others, but I keep the others moving. Some steps like installing linkages are tedious for me and so I will set aside a particular day and do nothing but cut pushrods, solder, and do basic servo adjustments. I build my planes to about 95% complete and then hang 'em up so that if I crash something or sell it or just retire a plane, I am never more than an overnight away from having something else in the air. I have also found that the best thing to help me want to build is to fly, and fly and fly. A good weather day where I am forced to build or repair, is a bummer. I choose bad weather and cold days here in Denver for building.
