Hey Guys,
imagine the following situation:
you are a 35 year-male engineer from germany, working in the usa in a international project. your company in germany sent you to alabama until december 2010. one year ago you thought "ok let's build a rv-7 here". you were fast and built the tail, wings, fuse. and the finishing kit is laying around in the shop. and then you ordered an engine for 29k (fully paid already) which is still in the assembling process somewhere in canada. imagine the airplane would be your dream since childhood and is supposed to fly in germany later on. you do good but you are not a millionaire.
and here comes the part that complicates all: your girlfriend. she's in switzerland and you just can see her once in a month for a long weekend. (thanks god, all the home-flights are paid by the company). imagine she really doesn't like the idea of flying a self-build airplane because she doesn't like flying at all, but she really is the most nice and beautiful woman you've ever seen in your life. then a phonecall from her 2am at night wakes you up... "honey, i'm at the doctor, i'm happy and pregnant, can't wait to get the baby from you, i love you, bye..." (shortened version)
you never spent any thoughts in your live about children, but you love her and you feel "ok, then let's start a family"
when your brain doesn't feel like scrambled eggs anymore... what would you do?
