Is it too late for me?

Hey Brendan, waiting til I finish. I have my PPL from many years ago (restricted) - only 45 hours or so on C172s, so I have a lot to learn/relearn.

Thanks Nev, guess it's all relative, I'm 54, pretty much the same age Baz is.

 

Building and flying are 2 different things. @Builds By Baz you're obviously very capable of building things to a high standard and I'm guessing you like doing so, otherwise you wouldn't spend years doing so.

They're right though, it's a good idea to do a TIF at least to ensure you like it before committing.

My only point is that if you enjoy the process of creating something, then you'll probably enjoy making a plane.

I envy you building your own.

What a fantastic sense of achievement the day of your first flight.

I like tidying up and repairing old planes and boats but I don't have the skills to build the whole thing.

My original question was just out of curiosity whether the building project was what got you interested and the flying would come later.

I have friends that are serial builders. They fly but prefer building.
