Buy or build a homebuilt? How much flying do you expect to do?

“How much flying do you expect to do?”

Well that’s the thing. When I close my eyes I imagine myself darting off to far off places every weekend. Visiting family, going to different national parks, experiencing all the US has to offer.

But the point of my questioning is to correct my false imagination of what being a pilot really is - Is it that or is it something to full of responsibilities, costs and hassles that it would be a miserable experience ?

My friend loves to fish. He owns a nice boat. He loves life and his boat improves his life. If I owned that boat it would just tick me off after a few weeks and I wouldn’t get in it again. I love travel and am thinking of picking up an RV (Like a class c). I’m the only one who drives, so it’s not like I could take advantage of things like that.

I’m a technical guy and would appreciate the yoke more than a steering wheel. I want to take my family around the country to different properties and projects. I think I would enjoy a plane.
