Saturday was great KR flying for me as well. Instead of the breakfast usual run from Lees Summit to Miami County airport we flew to Excelsior Springs Mo (3EX) for a EAA chapter pancake breakfast fly-in. The runway was pretty short at 2000' but I still had no major issues landing without either flaps or a belly board, just needed to be "on the numbers" as they say. Next we flew over to a friends farm near Cameron MO where she is looking to put in a grass runway. Of course we had to practice "low passes" to simulate a landing on her farm. About 2 hours of fun, yes it was a great KR day!

Went flying around the countryside looking for something to eat. Problem was airport cars gone or inop. Came home hungry but really booking on speed. Crossed over the top of one airport with home airport 47 miles ahead. Travel time with a 35 mph tailwind was 15 minutes. I love speed !!!! Keep building fellow builders, there are fun times ahead !!!!! Larry Flesner _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
