I respect everyone here and have been really struggling with my feet for two years now. I am at a place where I may not be able to finish my plane. The long hours on the concrete are bad. I can't even drive my truck for more than an hour without my right foot starting to hurt.

Plantar Fasciitis is horrible!

Anyway, all that's left is covering so I weighing my options:

1. Finish the plane in Oratex to minimize the floor time per day. Do a little bit of covering as I can until I knock it out.

2. Pay a pro to cover and paint my plane

3. Sell my project and take a bath on my investment



I am depressed over my condition. The steroid shots into my heel are not fun. The only bright spot is my therapy is going well for the past couple of weeks and I am selling my gutter company to save some of wear and tear on my feet. I'm keeping my electrical business and am going after bigger jobs to cut down that time too.

I am not too concerned about flying the plane. The rudder pedal work is not constant so I will be fine. Although, it is nice to fly my Ercoupe around (no rudder pedals).


If you were in my shoes, pun intended, what would you do? If I sell it, I would probably trade up to a SLSA from the factory or trade it for a finished kitfox but I am leaning toward getting some help to finish it.
