My partner on this project is an 85 year old who is legally blind. A veteran of three wars, retired from the military. He was suffering from depression and needed something to do, he had tools and space and I suggested an airplane. The project took three years and three months working ONLY on tuesdays from 7AM to 2PM. Now he's depressed again for fear that our companionship will soon end. Built a two seater (tandem) so that he could enjoy it, but he is so fragile that climbing into the plane exhausts him. STILL, it's pretty exciting for both of us. ----- Original Message ----- > > There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for > building > is OVER. >
Great story! People just don't know how fun building a plane can be! Seems like it brought new life to your friend. I can just picture the thrill he'll get when flying the project that he worked so hard on. There is still time left for us......thakn God! Makes me want to devote more time to building.
