"As William Wynne likes to say, every day spent building is another day you are closer to losing your medical."
Not to worry. There will soon be relatively inexpensive out-of-the-box solutions enabling us to remotely pilot our KR's. With remotely controlled hangar doors, we won't even have to go to the airport to go flying. I can't imagine we'll need a medical to operate our flight consoles. If we have a heart attack while flying the plane will automatically return to base or land at the nearest airport. Remote/autonomous piloting is the direction all of aviation (and trucking and trains and ships etc.) is headed, so no need to worry about medicals except for the very near future and in any event, if AOPA and EAA are successful the 3rd class medical will soon be gone. For small planes like ours, power will be electric. I know a lot of guys amuse themselves with the building process but for others, those wanting a KR will be able to have one made exactly the way they want it using 3-D printing. I'm pretty sure this is something that's possible as I write this, just not common yet.
