Later in the build, absolutely. It's a double-edged sword, so many little things so you can pick things you feel like working on, but the pace/progress seems to slow down with all the task-switching. Keep building!

Yep Billy, I agree with Ryan. It gets much worse at the end of the build. I've left the shop more than once lately thinking I was going a little nuts. I would be about to do some little something, like painting the wing lock handle, and before I got to the paint I was thinking about the tape I need to put on the leading edge of the prop and I forgot what I was doing. I find myself with a confused look just turning in circles. We'll both make the finish line. BTW, if it gets too bad, stop and clean shop ;-)

Hi Billy,

No no, heavens no. That's just what I have been doing. It's my remedy when I get a little scattered.

But now that you mention it ... LOL.

Haha. I’ll clean up in a couple weeks after I knock out the basement door, cut away a little block and finally take this longassproject out of the cellar and to the garage!!
