Duncan et all One thing to remember, concerning your wife, many individuals who start a project such as the KR, get so engrossed that they forget that they have a wife and family. Sadly, the project ends up being sold in the divorce settlement.
Take a bit of advice from someone who has built a kr, flown it, and raised five children at the same time and is still married to the one and only women of my life, put your wife and family first. Remember that the kr is a hobby but your family is your live. I enjoy my kr and it is alot of fun to fly but I couldn't have completed it without the support of my wife and family. I made a rule while I was building mine, and that was to always put the needs of my wife and family first and the kr second. This rule is a good one to follow no matter what your hobby is. This rule served me well when I needed to purchase tools, parts, and spend time on my hobby, I also made it a point to set aside a date night for just my wife and I every week. I don't mean to preach to anyone, but if you don't think this is important, just look at the many different aircraft projects that are up for sale and note the reason why they are for sale. I enjoy reading about those of us who have successfully started and finished these projects and would like to see more added to the list. Thanks for the attention and may I wish all of you out there good luck with your projects and enjoy safe flying.
