When I sold my T-Craft after flying it for 300 hours or so and then watching it gather 10 years of dust as a "next year for sure!" restoration project, I climbed into the cockpit one last time and sat there for a few minutes just before loading it onto the truck. The buyer stood respectfully aside, and just said, "It's never easy," when I got out.
I still wonder what happened to it. He promised me a ride when it was restored, but 15 years later I'm still the last registered owner.
