Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I find that when I tell most "normal" people that I am building an airplane
the conversation goes something like this...
Q. "You mean a MODEL airplane don't you?"
A. "No a real two seat airplane."
Q. "Your going to fly in a plane that you built yourself?!"
A. "Yes."
Q. "Does your wife know you're Stone Crazy???!!!!"
A. "She's looking forward to flying with me in it."
The person then walks away shaking their head.
We call this "The three questions." We hear them a lot. It's nice
communicating with people who understand.
