 Flying

A number of years ago two friends and I put new fabric on a '46 Aeronca Chief. Even though we had no real experience in recovering airplanes before this project we went by the book and had it inspected throughout. I even got the name "Suzie Homemaker" because I was the only one willing to run a sewing machine. At one point we had to weld on new wing strut brackets to the fuselage. You can believe I thought about those welds when I was up in the air.

Wildman, I see each of the paragraphs above turned into a chapter in a book. Sounds interesting.

Wildman, I think there are lots of guys like me who at one time were "in to" flying in one way or another but for whatever reason never continued. If we can't experience it firsthand we can at least feel it through guys who have.

Why don't you just start by making an outline of various experiences and then start to fill in the details. Take each story separately and you won't have to worry about the whole thing at once. I have not done any popular writing but I have written a fair number of scientific papers and I would think that some of the process should be similar. I can't spell and my grammar is straight out of the back woods so I really have to depend on others to give me feedback.

Unlike my writing, however, you would have to be interesting. Smile
