Build, then fly?

[Norman Langlois]

I have to put my 2 cents in here. Do not do what I have done!!!
This is about building before not knowing how to fly.
There is a way and I took that way. It is worse than any of your resolves here you have training available for many of the planes you would build.
I not only chose to build before learning. I chose to build from scratch and design my own.
Now I am stuck being the test pilot and no training .How is this you say, THE U/L needs no certificate
I am scared! I am concerned ! I wish I took training before I built! I had money problems so I told myself why pay for training if you haven't anything to fly. Because you should that's all and for me mostly back when I began, it was available now its not.
I will fly it and its a seaplane. I bit off more than I can chew. I hope I live through it and hurt no one doing it!!!

I do have the help of a CFI but its at a distance. I am very thankful for even that.
