I agree with others as to the time/money issues. Maybe the important thing is seed-planting and inspiration to youth at an early age. I caught the dream of the Piet when I was 17. Right then I knew I would work at aligning the stars so one day I could start building and have half-a-chance at finishing. I got that chance at age 46 to begin the journey. It takes a special kind of person to be able to complete a task of this magnitude. Vision...., fortitude.....perseverance, not to mention the underlying foundation of stability, health, and finance. That is why if you stop and look around there are very few who actually buy a set of plans, complete, and fly their own airplane. I am blessed beyond measure and consider myself incredibly fortunate. I still can't believe it.

I agree Dan. If it wasn't for the _influence of other people and pilots_ as a young teen I doubt I would be in the air at all and I for sure wouldn't be building a plane. When I was younger we lived beside a medium sized GA airport and I spent more time there then at home and was able to go on many flights with the pilot's I got to know there. I got the home-building bug after helping/watching a gent finish his RV-7A and then was treated to a few rides in it when it was done and the same thing with a guy finishing a Zenith CH 650. I had my eye on the Pietenpol as a potential plane and the decision was made when I was able to pick up a half finish project for a song.
