Went out to the shop last night and spent the majority of two hours thinking/planning out my ER tank architecture. I spent a fair amount of time doing this when I decided to go this route but hadnt done anything with it since, so it was time to add some more detail to the plans. Deciding where to place the tank ribs, getting a list put together of extra parts I will need to order from Van's, etc.
Its 'go' time! I have a bad habit of overthinking everything--sometimes I need to just stop thinking and start doing. I think I have reached that moment in time.
I gotta say the planning was fun, this is what gets my juices flowing. Not to offend anyone, but building one of these entirely to the plans holds little interest for a guy like me. 'Making it your own' is what truly draws me to this hobby. I would feel suffocated by building a lightsport RV-12 since you cant alter the build from standard. To me, life is too short to be just like everybody else...what fun is that? The coolest thing is going to OSH and seeing all of the clever tweaks people have done to their planes...even if its just a variation of something that has been done before. Anyway, thats just me...
