I have no delusions about building or owning my own airplane or getting a pilots' license. I don't trust myself to be detail oriented enough to stay alive, nor dedicated enough to stay with it. I will however do it again sometime.

That is just terrific. The Zenair is a really nice unit. Here is a pic for those who may not know the aircraft:
I fly about every three months in my neighbors Piper Cub. He is an excellent pilot and we only do CAVU and calm air.
Enjoy.
