If I won a ten million dollar lottery; 1)I would buy the small cabinet shop that did mycustom kitchen cabinets a few years ago. It only had 3 or four employees. I would continue to build custom cabinets about 4 days a week and have the guys work days 5 and 6 on building wooden aircraft structures. Probably start small with a batch of Culver PQ-14 drones or Cadets, and maybe rebuild a couple of Bellanca Super Viking wings. Eventually focus on projects that are in good shape but need new woodwork. 2) Buy my dad's friend's business that is a sheet metal fabricator. They can do anything in aluminum, stainless steel and copper. They do kitchen work for commercial restaurants and have built several homebuilt aircraft over the years. Same idea, have the guys work a couple days a week on metal aircraft. Probably buy a couple of those Oscar projects and maybe a Lockheed 10, 12 or ? Would still have several million left over. Hmmm, maybe pick up the rest of the Skyraiders in Vietnam and start on them. They have a lot of corrosion.
