About your statement
" I can see being leery about something expensive or took a long time to build,
but we have people that will not fly if someone else is even watching them.
Kind of like the people that cant pee while someone else is looking. "
Me,myself, feel some times strangely when people on the flight line look at me..
Especially back when i was learning to fly with my trainer..
Nowadays,
and when time comes to maiden an airplane,
i choose to go to the field during days that NOONE will be there!
I guess many others here do the same...
