I had a week moment,,,, with a 2 year old QB-8 in the garage which I look at every
day but had not worked much in about a year. I'd been busy with work and life
I had lost interest and motivation to get back into the project.
I decided to sell it.
When my 11 year old daughter found out she was astounded and asked a simple question
"Why are you going to quit? I thought you wanted to build the plane"
Simply put,,
never give up
So I will build, and not just for me,,
I went out dusted it off and built a simple rewarding thing like build the front
seat,
I'm back on a roll, in the grove, it will fly,

I told my wife the only way my plane will not fly is
if I die first. Build on!

When I built my RV-6 there were no such things as quick built anything,
I would look at
all of the parts and it would be overwhelming. The secret is to just to
try to do a little bit everyday,
look at each task not as a whole. Pretty soon you well run out of things
to do and well have to fly
it. :-)

Congrats on the new found desire........Since Sept 4, 2004 I have been work
ing off and on on an RV7A.....Like you family, work, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, l
ife's responsibilities have turned a 18 month project into a nearly 4 year
project. I am now in the final 1000 last details and hope to fly by the end
of this summer. Many well meaning folks have said why in the world would y
ou keep going considering the cost, time commitment, frustration, and you n
ame....(put negative reason to quit hear).....but I tell them I CAN'T......
"I would never feel good teaching my kids and grandkids that it is OK to gi
ve up a worthy project".......
Dan I congratulate you on keeping your dream...and teaching moment....alive
Frank @ 1L8...... RV7A......Last 992 details of which 9000 are fiberglass r

I agree with Jerry, Dan, focus on building a small piece as the goal of each
"project" otherwise, the entire project just seems overwhelming. I tried to
commit at least 2 hours each and every day - identified a specific
accomplishment I wanted to achieve - even if it was just to measure the
position for the next 10 rivet holes (yes, before the days of punched rivet
holes {:>))
After 3 years (yes, I did average a bit more than 2 hours per day), but the
thrill when I first flew it will always be remembered.
The only thing I regret, is waiting until I was 56 years old before I
started my dream. Don't lose you dream - stay with it.
Best Regards

Good for you Dan! A lesson for you and an example for your daughter.
Plus, you will love the airplane when it is done.
Allow me to make a few comments.
Building an airplane was in my Bucket List since college. When I had
doubts while building, I would think about my "regrets list" and was
this going to be one of my life time regrets. Sometimes it was the
knowledge that I would be sorry if I didn't complete it more than the
desire to finish it that kept me going.
Don't be discouraged when others ask "when is it going to fly". As
others have pointed out, working consistently helps but work at your own
pace so as to not let the airplane become an issue with you or at home.
While building my 6A there were two periods when the project was not
touched for a year or more because of other priorities.
Building the airplane is one of my most cherished personal
accomplishment. N728RV will be one of yours.
Regards and best wishes with the project.

I have been working on my RV6 for almost 20 years... !! Moving around a
lot... Having kids .... Work .... Do not give up ... I should have the wings
done this year and the fuselage next year ...
About 10 years ago someone wanted to buy the parts I had made ... no way
would I sell ... it has taken a long time to get this far ... and no way
will I give up ... So hang in there ... It will be great when it is done !!
Best of luck !!

Dan,
Great and touching story! Your daughter will someday look back with pride
knowing that she has played a part of your decision to build on and realize
your dream. This can only help to build her confidence to voice her opinion
on important issues as she grows older.
I built my "6" from '98 to '02 and I am enjoying it as much today as I did
the first day we flew. It changes your life in many ways and it's inspiring
to read your story.
I too have another RV project in my shop that's collecting dust but now I'm
charged up to get back to daily progress

Good for you Dan! A lesson for you and an example for your daughter. Plus,

Allow me to make a few comments.
Building an airplane was in my Bucket List since college. When I had doubts
while building, I would think about my "regrets list" and was this going t
o be one of my life time regrets. Sometimes it was the knowledge that I wou
ld be sorry if I didn't complete it more than the desire to finish it that
kept me going.
Don't be discouraged when others ask "when is it going to fly". As others h
ave pointed out, working consistently helps but work at your own pace so as
to not let the airplane become an issue with you or at home. While buildin
g my 6A there were two periods when the project was not touched for a year
or more because of other priorities.
Building the airplane is one of my most cherished personal accomplishment.

I started my 6A in '98, and am just now a ready for the Fuselage kit. I'd
just about given up on being able to complete it (I turn 56 in June. So to
here someone say they didn't start till that age takes away any excuse I ha
d. The benefit is that I just completed Tail Wheel Transition training and
now have my endorsement. So I think I'll build a '6' instead. Any thoughts
on a 5ft 5in guy flying a taildragger? I checked with Van's and they say t
his is the time to make the choice. Anyway, thank you Dan for setting me f

Ed Booth at Twins Lakes SC is one of the best flying 65 year old RV 7 pilots
I know and he is about 5'6". If I had 2 legs I would be building a 7 vs. a
7A. Its like training wheels, but at lest I'm flying. You only go around
once unless you are a Buddhist, just do it. Good luck CJ

I made an interesting observation when my slo-build RV-6A departed the Earth
for the first time on January 31, 2004. Five years of hard-fought battles to
construct and pay for that nekkid little newborn were behind me and became
fond memories in my family album. What I witnessed being born that day was a
future of new experiences flying my RV and becoming a "flying" part of the RV
family.
She finished kindergarten (Phase One). Beginning with my Dad, her & I shared
RV grins with many passengers. Call it Elementary. After another year she
was ready for paint and she got her High School diploma. Some additional work
and her interior was finished. Grad School. She finally "debued" at Oshkosh,
Sun&Fun etc. and gathered a few laurels.
Yes, an RV is just a machine. Kinda. It's one you created. Don't neglect
the other members of your family, but don't be deterred if one of them throws a
curve ball at you every now and then.
It's all worth it- you'll see...
