Buzz, thanks for the suggestion to talk about building the Lightning at home at the fly-in. I think I could be helpful in pointing out the pro's and Con's of both the Builder assist program and doing on your own.
I helped Rayn assemble one of the first Lightning's at Shelbyville and of course I am building mine at home. I have been down many times to Shelbyville and have seen what happens during the program there.
To tell people how to evaluate the time vs. money and how it relates to the finished product. Its really a toss up when you take into consideration what is required in time and equipment, space,and environment.
Another major item to consider is the other half. (wife) I would like to bring my wife along to explain to the ladies present what there in for and how to handle a few things.
My wife is a great speaker and would present things in a very humorous way. Like what to say when the neighbors say "He's building a what in the garage?" or why she is on first name basis with the FedEx and the UPS guy. How to tell if those cloths can be cleaned or thrown out.
I really wish I could be there, but I have another commitment. Maybe next year or at Oshkosh.

Bummer, Tex. I know you would have been able to provide a good perspective on building at home. Why not plan on it for 2009.
