What a bummer! Bobby Muse's KR2 was one of the most beautiful KRs I've ever seen. It looked like it rolled out of a factory when I saw it at Covington. See http://www.n56ml.com/kbobbym.html for pictures I took that day...1993, I believe it was. I have a lot to say about buying a plane the way I did...fly out somewhere on an airliner with the intention of buying a plane and flying it back. I'll write more on this later, but it's a really bad idea because you "think" you are forced into flying into whatever the weather looks like, and cut a lot of corners on fixing things you know should be fixed, and more importantly, getting familiar with the plane and how to operate it, and whatever peculiarities are built into it. Finding all of this stuff out on takeoff or in transit is not the way you want to do it. KR history of full of crashes and deaths on takeoff or landing on a "first flight" by a new KR pilot. Trust me on this...trailer the thing home instead! Mark Langford, Harvest, AL ML at N56ML.com www.N56ML.com
