I've just written a new piece on the nature of the last stage of RV construction, when you start redoing things and making changes on stuff and decisions you've already done.
Still, you'll be face a challenge when you get near the end a project and here's why: You'll realize there are things you could have done better and you'll be tempted to do them again and there are things you wish you'd done.
In avionics, this is a constant problem but here's the secret: No matter what you put in your instrument panel, you'll find a thing you could have put in it instead when the next monthly issue of your favorite aviation magazine comes in the mail. Get used to it and ignore it. If you're building your airplane just to impress someone else, maybe you're building an airplane for all the wrong reasons.
I'm interested in hearing your late-construction tales when faced with plowing ahead or building some more.In avionics, this is a constant problem but here's the secret: No matter what you put in your instrument panel, you'll find a thing you could have put in it instead when the next monthly issue of your favorite aviation magazine comes in the mail.
