Flying excites me!

Flew the Cessna 172 this morning for a short flight.  Flew out over our "mud plant" and then came back and did a power off - full flap short field landing just for kicks.  Squiked it!!

Love this video:

New blog description - What excites me!

This blog is about more than just building an airplane.  It is about building a lifestylye that can make my dreams come true.

What Excites Me?

Flying.
Giving Christmas presents.
Flying commercial first class.
Being able to afford the time and money to go to AirVenture every year at Oshkosh.
Emagining how good it will feel to weigh 160 lbs.
Emagining how much fun it will be to challange young guys to one-arm push-up contests.
Writing that last check to pay off a debt!
Being available to spend time with my grandkids and do things that they want to do (that costs $$).
Being able to write a check for my Zenith 750 Cruzer airframe kit, engine, instruments, etc.

Truth Vs Homeostatis - time to change my brain.

Wow.  Looked around at some cheaper homebuilts - mostly wood.  Why do a cheap one?  No money.  Is that what I really want?  Heck no.  I like the Cruzer.  I like working with metal. I want to do the Cruzer.  So what is the problem?  Money.  For me it is not about what to build - it is facing the truth that right now I don't have the money.  Why don't I have the money - homeostatis.  Our brains are designed to keep us from changing. Get over it brain.  I'm going to change.
