Jacques, your message made me feel like a real youngster ("only" 63).

I haven't finished my K2 (#2885) yet, but the first kit I built (a
Johnson Viking II) was also 50 years ago.  Since then, I have built a
DX-100, Eico 723, DSW-40 and NC-20, plus some TAPR kits and various
pieces of test equipment.
