It seems I'm a tinkerer much more than a builder, although I enjoy the little building I do very much as well. To boot, I have little perseverance. This is not a good trait, and that's why I'm actually very well pleased with having brought some bright idea to some sort of completion.

I think you're too hard on yourself, Leif. At the risk of sounding downright silly, these things turn out to be a LOT of work. You'll recall, I'm sure, the last project I discussed with you, some six months ago now. I'm still working on it and
almost near the end: nearly 350 parts on 9 pages and 8 pages of assembly diagrams at this point, with a few important bits left to do. I really had no idea when I started . . . .
I'm not going to tell you that you
should build the Po-2, but if you do there's nothing wrong with doing it in fits and starts over the next year or more. I got into a bad habit of throwing away stalled projects after they had sat in the closet for a few months. I wish I hadn't - it seems like it'd be kinda nice to take a break from the thing I've been working on for so long and be able to finish up something else. Might clear the head.
