Guys;

Here's my situation. Please help me decide!!!!

I am on the verge of buying my first aircraft. Here's the issue. I signed up for, and attended the Sonex workshop this past weekend. I had a good time and thoroughly enjoyed the project building they had us do( a scratchbuilt leading edge wing rib assy). About 3 weeks before this class however, I got wind of a Cessna 150 for sale at a reasonable price at a local airport. I know a C-150 is just a little trainer aircraft, but it would fit the bill pretty nicely for this first time aircraft owner....Now I'm in a quandry, do I want to fly now, or do I want to build now? Both sides of the coin are very appealing to me, however I can't afford to do both. How about some opinions yea or ney for either side to help me decide. At the moment I just can't do it myself. I need a push. Thanks in advace.
