Default Throw outs....

How many times have looked at something you just cut and put together only to throw it out and started over?

I just tossed out my third set of elevators I built for an He 111 I am working on. Time to find something else to do for the remainder of the day.[:@]

There's days when I can't touch anything without it looking like a diaper deposit. When that happens it's time to go find something harmless to do like read a book or post on the 'net....

What? You don't have a stack of "Might have Been's" sitting all dusty in one corner. They for one reason of another had a flaw and it became simplier to begin over again with another one than to fix up that just botched up one. I got six of one A/C sitting in a pile gathering up dust and the shoes of visitors.

Had to, just to make sure you were doing it right.

Oh..... you must mean the box of spare left wings and spare right fuselage sides I've got over in the corner from those plans that only showed one panel and where I glued the stuff to the same side of both sides?

More times than I care to count, but it is worth it to have the finished project look and fly as you intended.

Those aren't mistakes, they are spares for the planes you built for a buddy, counting on his lack of pilot skills, Just look, he's already used half that pile!
