Indeed he does, as do you for hosting the event. It's a lot of work. >The only thing I can say about the counter is it's not counting. Oh, but it is! It says I'm Number One! It's just not incrementing, that's all ;o) And just to contribute something KR-ish, it seems like only yesterday but it was a few short years ago (1999? 2000?) that Paul Martin completed conversion of his taildragger KR2 to tri-gear and started taxi tests on it. What fun! After seeing Paul's plane with its guts ripped out, cowling, fuel tank, instrument panel, engine, lots of other things dismantled and in boxes, holes cut open here and there, filled and sanded/primered splotches all over... I never thought it would fly again but it did. Those of you who have your airplanes in pieces or wingless or engineless, take hope! We watched Paul taxi the little KR behind its 1835 VW and eventually fly, carry passengers (me, for one), make cross-countries, and have a ball. Never the prettiest bird on the field but sort of like an older sports car, lots of fun to fly. It CAN be done!
