When I little, I always took my toys apart to see how they worked. I guess that's why I became an engineer. I'm pretty mechanically-minded and I'd be willing to work on anything from strip-down, assembly, paintwork, sheet metal, or electrical. But warbird powerplants interest me greatly, since they represent the peak of piston engine development. Most of the engine work seems to be done by third-parties now, so I'd miss being directly involved with the airframe.
